How do I collect my NOWCA wristband?

Modified on Tue, 9 Jul at 1:32 PM

NOWCA wristbands are not posted out.  They must be collected at a NOWCA affiliated venue.


When you set up your NOWCA account you chose your Band Pickup Venue.  You should choose the location where you intend to swim or your 'home' venue.


If you are no longer able to collect your band at the selected venue (for instance, if you are visiting another site for your first swim), you can collect it any NOWCA affiliated venue during their opening hours. 


Each venue has a large supply of wristbands onsite.  When you arrive for your first swim, a band is allocated to you and is linked to your account at this point.  This means, as soon as you have completed NOWCA registration and paid your membership, the band is available for collection.  You will need to give the venue the email address associated with your NOWCA account to collect a wristband. 


NOWCA bands are 'for life'.  If you were member in the past and let your membership lapse, you can continue using the same wristband once you have made payment for a new membership period.
