Trial lessons

Want to try whether competitive swimming is for you and experience ZV Torpedo? You can experience this in 2 trial lessons to see whether you want to become a member. You do not need to have any experience with competitive swimming to take the trail lesson. It is required that you have at least diploma C (or equivalent). Trial swimming is only possible during the training sessions on Wednesday (17:30-18:30) or Saturday (8:00 - 9:00). If people already have experience with competitive swimming, please indicate this in the form.

Please register through the contact form on this website.

Join us

Have you tried the two trial lessons and want to become a member? You can join us through the contact form on this website. The Torpedo membership can start at any time, while the membership year runs from 1st of January to 31st of December. The membership fee for 2025 is €400 a year. The membership fee is determined every year during the General Members Meeting in the first quarter of the year.

The club is always looking for volunteers to help with the many activities that need to be carried out both structurally and on an ad-hoc basis. To encourage this, the club decided during the General Assembly that a €50 per family volunteer contribution will be collected in March and refunded at the end of the year if volunteer work has been performed. Contribution collection is managed with the help of NIKKI.

Competition

At first glance, competitive swimming may seem like an individual sport, but in reality, it is a true team sport. As a team, we work together to improve our standings. During competitions, we also swim relays, where collaboration with other swimmers is essential. Everyone contributes in their own way to the success of the club, from coaches and competition secretaries to volunteers like timers and meet officials. Their dedication is crucial for the sport. It’s important for swimmers to participate in as many competitions as possible, so we can collectively strive for the best results. This requires not only a serious commitment from the swimmers but also their dedication to the team and the club. Participation in competitions is not optional; it’s a responsibility we share as a team. By actively participating, we demonstrate our commitment not just to ourselves, but also to our teammates and the club as a whole. Only together can we fully realize our potential and achieve our goals.
