[I don't understand what "permencia" means in this context. This is a sports organization. If they mean accomodation, the price of 14 Euros per week seems excessively cheap.

@Kathryn Thanks for your kind words! I don't use the glossary, I prefer the term search, which includes glossary entries and KudoZ questions.

I wish you could have gotten points for that, Helena, and had that definition added to the glossary! It's clear you know what you're talking about. Alas.
Helena Chavarria Jun 22, 2017:
I suppose you've found the answer but 'permanencia' is when children are taken to school or a summer course an hour or so before and/or after the classes or activities start or finish. It's so the parents can go to work (or finish) on time.

membership [to freely access the public pool]

Well, I kind of doubt that a public swimming pool would be offering lodgings as part of its swimming lessons (and, as you indicate, the 14 euros per week would be excessively cheap for such accommodations, even in rooms shared by 20 persons).

My guess is that the extra fee refers to membership to the pool in question, which would allow free access during its open hours (i.e., other than at the times when the course enrolled in is being taught).

ongoing membership

That is how I interpret it.

agree Andrea Shah : Agreed. I find other examples of "permanencia" used in gym contracts, so this seems the most logical.

accommodation

Unlike our colleagues, I think this looks like one of the summer activity courses for kids now that the schools have broken up. As I see it, it would mean that instead of just attending the course during the day, they would actually be living in for the month. This is quite common on summer English courses.
