About the association

Membership

How a club or sports organisation can join the Hungarian Ice and Winter Swimming Association, and what membership involves.

The association is open to every organisation involved in ice and winter swimming that accepts its statutes. This page summarises how to join; the exact conditions are set out in Chapter III of the statutes.

Who can join?

Any organisation, civil organisation or sports organisation involved in ice and winter swimming can join – including those set up to improve the quality of life of people over 16, people with disabilities, transplant recipients and pensioners – provided it takes part in the competition system and accepts the association's statutes.

Individuals who are not members of any member organisation can still compete as individual athletes by obtaining and paying for a competition licence.

The current member organisations are listed on the About us page.
