1. Registration details below

AASC Club Memberships are ready for purchase! If you require financial support with registration and/or pool entry on club Saturday mornings please complete this google form https://forms.gle/iScWXECVmuv3ceKo7 .

Our club Treasurer Adam Townsend reports that the 2025/26 membership registration and payment process is painless. We have tested the system with a few families without issue.

So, please head to –

https://authcrm2.swimming.org.au/Account/Login

Hopefully things are intuitive from there, but here are a few pointers:

Login and reset password if needed. New members, you will first need to create Swim Central accounts via the link above.

Returning Members would have recently received an email directly from Swim Central. The system has placed a replacement membership in your Shopping Cart to make things easy. You can review this and pay, or clear the system (if there are changes) and follow the steps below.

Go to Store

Go To Memberships

Select who you are purchasing for (on the right), and you should be presented with two/three options – Club Swimmer, Dry Supporter and Second Claim Membership (see screenshot #1 below).

For existing members, the Ashfield ASC membership options should pop straight up. If they do not, or for new members, just search for Ashfield on the left.

Add to cart, noting that when you click on the cart the Active Kids Voucher option pops up for children.

Note that the swimmer’s age drives some options – ie Dry Supporter is only available for 18+ and Kids Voucher will only pop up for is for <19. Hence, if an option is not coming up, it is likely that you are on the wrong person – ie no kid voucher option might mean that you are trying to pay for an adult, and you will need to correctly select the child.

Please also see attached link for further details on Swim Central (if needed) – https://nsw.swimming.org.au/…/swim-central-member…

From there, we just need your money!

New Members – please head to Swim Central via the link above and register

New club swimwear available to order now.


We are pleased to announce that the order portal for our new club swimmers will be open for 3 weeks from today Friday 18th August to Friday 8th September.This portal has been set up for our club on the Pontoon Sports website, and can only be used to order our club swimmers (not any other products they might sell).
Please read the below instructions carefully before ordering.How to order

  1. Review the attached Final Design document to choose your style.
  2. Use the garment measurement guides attached to get accurate sizes – this enables you to measure your current swimmers to see what size to order. There is also a size guide on the order portal which you can access once you have added an order to the cart. Note that you will not be able to swap sizes once you have received your order so it is really important to get the sizing right. We may have one or two extra in some sizes but there won’t be a large pool of extras. 
  3. Click on this link to place your order.
  4. Create an account as prompted.
  5. Choose from the four styles by clicking on the style diagram. (Do not click on Start Group Order or anything in the Order Summary grey box on the right.)
  6. Ignore Step 1 and Step 2, and simply enter the number of garments required in the box under the size.
  7. Click Add to Cart.
  8. This should take you back to the home page. Repeat with other styles if required.
  9. Click on the Shopping Cart top right to checkout.
  10. Enter your name, address and payment details to complete the order.

After you have completed your order and made payment, your card will be charged a 10c verification fee, and the full amount will only be charged once the order window has closed on 8th September.Should you change your mind during the order period, you can go back into the portal and amend your order.Once the order period has closed the order cannot be changed.
CollectionThere is no facility to have orders sent to you directly, so we are getting them sent to the club and we will be at the pool from 9am–10:30am on Saturday Oct 7th (the week before club starts) to distribute them.You can drop in and collect them then, or pick them up at the first week of club on Saturday Oct 14th.
We need a minimum number of orders to open the order portal again, so this may be your only opportunity to order club swimmers for the 23/24 season.Please plan ahead and order up!
 Email Virginia Birch birchfamily@iinet.net.au if you have any questions.
