2023-2024 Recreation Swim Team Dues & Payment Schedule
The Bethel Park Recreation Swim Team has a seasonal, tiered structure for team dues.
Tier 1 (2 Seasons): Senior, Platinum, and Gold are 2-season groups with separate registration and dues for the Short Course (Sept to Mar) and Long Course (Apr to Aug) seasons. These groups will have the option to pay the full-season dues at registration or in installments, in which case the first installment is collected upon registration and the following installments are collected on the 1st of the subsequent months. There will be no refund for those who choose not to complete the season.
Tier 2 (4 Seasons): Silver, Bronze, and Gold 2 are 4-season groups with separate registration and dues for Fall (Sept to Nov), Winter (Dec to Mar), Spring (Apr to May), and Summer (June to July). These groups will pay the full season cost upon registration. There will be no refund for those who choose not to complete the season.
Swim Team Dues
BPRSTPA dues are dedicated to covering our coaching payroll via payments to the Municipality of Bethel Park who employs our coaching staff. Dues and Registration Fees are processed through our Team Unify website (www.bprswim.org). You must maintain a valid payment method (credit card or ACH).
Multi-Athlete Discount
Families with more than one swimmer will benefit from a discount on their total dues based on the number of swimmers. When a family registers multiple swimmers simultaneously discounts are issued automatically. When swimmers are registered individually discounts must be manually credited after registration is complete. Sharks swimmers are not included in the multi-athlete discount.
Bethel Park Sharks
The Sharks is an extension of our summer league program, where athletes will be introduced to the sport of competitive swimming with daily instruction in the four competitive swimming strokes as well as legal starts and turns.
The Sharks program is open to new swimmers throughout the year. Those interested in the Sharks group should contact Head Coach Jeff Gavin ([email protected]). Athletes who register for Sharks (you can do so at www.bprswim.org by clicking ‘Start Registration’) will pay a monthly fee that is billed on the first business day in October, November, December, January, February, March, April, and May. Athletes can join the group at any time during the year. There is no attendance policy for this program, we simply want to leave the door open for those athletes who may want to join after a different sport ends or use swimming as a cross-training sport between seasons.
