TWHST is managed by a Management Committee, which is elected each year at the Annual General Meeting. TWHST is run under the Laws of the Amateur Swimming Association, to which it is affiliated via the Yorkshire ASA, and the North Eastern Counties ASA. Coaching 
Coaching sessions are available seven days of the week, twelve months of the year for all ages and abilities of swimmers.
The Coaching Staff are ASA qualified and led by Head Coach Sue Chamberlain. 
At a novice level children are taught the basics of all the swimming strokes using the structured Learn to Swim Scheme and we hope that one day they will represent the club and swim in competitions.
Swimmers are regularly assessed to ensure continued progress towards any goals they may be set. Swimmers are not pressured and are given the opportunity to progress. Competitions There is a competitive element in the club and we encourage swimmers to take part in competitions, either to represent the club or to swim individually, depending on the kind of competitions available. However, there is no obligation to compete - swimming is for enjoyment as well! Most weekends will find TWHST swimmers competing either in an inter club gala or league, or in an individual open meet. 
For away galas the team and supporters travel by coach, which is usually provided by the club. A range of graded competitions are entered so that swimmers of all levels of achievement are given the opportunity to represent the club. The club enters teams in the North Yorkshire League and Ridings League.
Over three Saturdays of each calendar year we hold the annual Club Championships, in which all swimmers are encouraged to take part, including beginners! Fees & Charges Our income to cover hire charges, registration fees, transport etc. comes from our members. Each member (with discounts for families) pays an Annual Fee.
