Training Fees

  • All swimmers pay a yearly $125 registration fee due at time of registration.  This non refundable fee covers BBSC team cap, BBSC team shirt, team parties, Bulldog of the Day awards, additional training equipment and other miscellaneous items.

  • For families with multiple swimmers, there is a 20% discount for the second swimmer and 30% discount for the third swimmer.  Any additional swimmers have no monthly fees.

  • Fees vary by Training Group and are non-refundable.  Training fees are paid monthly in 9 payments for year-round swimmers.  Dues are billed on the first of each month, September - May.

  • For families who wish to swim just the Summer or Winter season (a 4 month commitment), monthly fees are indicated in the separate table below.  These families will still be required to work their volunteer sessions for that season.

  • Per USA Swimming's Outreach Program, BBSC provides financial assistance for those families that are a part of the free-and-reduced lunch program.  Families will need to provide documentation of their participation.  Email [email protected] for assistance.

Required Work Session Participation

The annual member agreement requires all parents to fill work sessions at each BBSC hosted invitational meet as club fundraisers in order to keep the actual training fees as low as possible. 2 to 3 meets per year are typical. 

NOTE: Families must help out with hosted swim meets regardless of whether their swimmer(s) is swimming in the hosted meet. Swimmers are not required to swim at our hosted meets, but families must work required sessions or be fined as outlined below.

  • Senior, Gold, Silver, and Bronze = 2 sessions per swimmer, per meet (max of 4 per meet1)

  • Bulldog Prep = 1 session per swimmer, per meet (max of 4 per meet1)

  • A $100 charge is assessed for each meet session not filled.

1 The annual Circle City Classic requires one additional work session per swimmer, with a family max of 5 per meet.
