Joining Wett Ones

All new swimmers are required to attend a free introductory session where one of our coaches will assess whether our swimming program is appropriate for you to start swimming with us. It also will provide you an opportunity to ask questions and get an idea of what our club is about.

The next free introductory session is scheduled for Sunday 14 September between 4pm to 5pm at Prince Alfred Park pool (located near Sydney Central Station). Please register to the next intro session via our booking page here. Once booked, more details about what to expect during the session will be sent via email. If you have any questions, please contact registrar@wettones.org. 

After your introductory session you are then entitled to three (3) free trial swims with Wett Ones. After your intro session and trial swims you must become a member of the club via NSW Masters Swimming to continue swimming. See below for more information.

To use these three (3) free swims please ensure you use the following three codes (1FREE, 2FREE then 3FREE) when booking via our booking page here.

Note: Saturday sessions are not available to new swimmers as there are no coaches on deck.

Are you visiting Sydney?

If you are a member of Masters Swimming Australia or of an IGLA-affiliated team visiting Sydney for a short period of time, you are welcome to train and socialize with us during your stay. To arrange your access and to receive information on how to book your training, please email registrar@wettones.org. 

Womens only sessions

We offer a dedicated women-only swimming session once a month, providing a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for women. These sessions are open to all women and female-identifying swimmers, with coaching to help participants improve their technique and fitness in the water. It's a great opportunity to train in a welcoming space while connecting with others in the community. If you would like to receive more information about women-only sessions, please email women@wettones.org.
