Why Sponsor YCBC?

The YCBC sponsorship opportunity and benefits. 

YCBC is probably the best undiscovered golden nugget sponsorship opportunity in York and district. We operate in a city with two rivers and have provided teaching swimming excellence for over 100  years very cost effectively. Given the recent high profile national coverage of local flooding, it is clear that we provide a core service to the people of the area, making a major contribution to personal safety. Following on from this, we are a long established centre of top class competitive swimming, having produced over 30 international swimmers in recent times, including 5 Olympians.

The club holds a number of swimming galas in the city each year and travels to compete in county, district and national championships on most weekends.

So bearing all this in mind, YCBC offers the following promotional opportunities to you: 

•The right image: healthy, safe, youthful, go getting, fun with a purpose, caring, social responsibility.

•   Associating with success: we have never failed to teach a child who is in our care to swim. We produce swimming champions of the highest calibre and have done so for a very long time. 

•   Access: to direct membership with a shared interest. People from the age of 5, over 550 swimming members and 1400+ close family. Each year we have a turnover of 2 - 300 swimmers and their close families, all who will retain their sense of association with the club. On top of this, there are wider family and friend connections. 

•   A source of educational support: We maintain information flow to all our members and this provides a vehicle for additional appropriate messages to be communicated.

 •   High profile: swimmers in most of the schools in the area.

 •   Existing positive press coverage: YCBC members feature frequently in local or regional press, plus nationally distributed sports publications e.g. Swimming Times, Aqua Zone. 

•   www: Potential for electronic connection on the YCBC web site.

 •   Kit sponsorship: use of your logo on club kit and stationery

 •   Focussed advertising: in the club’s swim meet programmes. 

•   Banner advertising: at all galas attended by club swimmers.

 •   New media: Developing local radio coverage 

•  YCBC participation: in existing and/or planned wider sponsor marketing initiatives

 We feel certain that these options are not exhaustive and can be worked on creatively in partnership, to deliver superb value for money and benefit our two organisations enormously.
