General FAQ:
1. After buying membership and entry, do I get to go into the pool in Adelaide Aquatic whenever I want?
Unfortunately, your membership and entry only allows for you to train at the stated times of our training sessions: Tuesdays and Thursdays 6-7pm only. Adelaide Aquatic Centre is a public pool open to anyone so if you would like to swim there on your own, you can do so for a fee - payable to the centre at the reception desk at any given time they are open.
2. I have paid for a single entry for an upcoming training session, but I realised now I can't make it! What can I do?
This is absolutely no problem. We can take note that you have not attended the training session and transfer your paid entry to another future session.
3. What do I get with membership?
Membership fee pays for the lane hire and equipment. You also get a black AUSC silicone cap with your membership, and a discount on our AUSC hoodies.
As part of our membership, you will have purchased an Adelaide University Sport membership, which entitles you to many perks and benefits, listed here: https://www.adelaideunisport.com.au/play-sport/perks-and-partners/

However, if you would like to compete you do have the option of participating in UniNationals - please let us know if you are interested!
