In addition to monthly membership fees your invoice may include meet entry fees and/or other charges you have authorized to be billed to your account. Click HERE for billing explanation and fees.
Do you charge credit processing fees?
At this time DASH does not collect the credit processing fees; to help keep our overhead cost down setting up your monthly payments to an ACH (automatic deduction from your checking or savings account) you will save the team 3.95% every transaction. An ACH withdrawal can only be set up after registration but is easy to do. Log into your team account, click on “Set up autopay” and then “Add Bank Account”. Please contact our registration admin with question regarding account set up.

How does the Free trial period work?
All swimmers new to DASH are eligible for a free trial period. The free trial period gives you the opportunity to see if DASH fits what you are looking for before committing to the full season. The trial period requires you to register for the trial period and create an account for yourself on our DASH website. This is a requirement of USA Swimming in order to be covered under the club's insurance policy. If your swimmer decides to continue with the program, you will need to log-in to your DASH account and complete the Registration process. Board members will be available during the orientation week to assist with this process, if needed.
Do I have to join USA Swimming?
Yes, all members of DASH are required be members of USA Swimming. This year USA Swimming is offering two membership options, flex and premium. Please review the FLYER for full details of each option. If you do not select one of the USA Swimming Membership options at the time of registration you will be automatically enrolled in the Premium Membership and the applicable fee will be billed to your account (except Jr. Hurricane group).
Work Sessions
Swimming is a volunteer intensive sport and we appreciate your willingness to support our swim team! Team hosted meets are completely run by DASH parents.
Each family is required to work a certain number of work sessions, depending on which swim group your most advanced swimmer is in. Work sessions are offered during our home meets and can be signed up for on DASH’s website. You will receive an email when the job sign up is available on line. Each job on the sign up page will show the number of work session credits you will receive for that job. Meets will have two or three sessions per day lasting approximately four hours long. Available work sessions are scheduled in either 2 or 4 hour increments. For more information about work session click HERE
