2023-2024 Tuition Structure

By registering for the Commonwealth Current, you are committing to the team and we are committing to you. Should you choose to discontinue enrollment with Commonwealth Swimming at any point in the 2023-2024 season, the remaining tuition payment for the year is required to be paid in full, as well as any outstanding meet fees. The only exception to this is the Undercurrent Practice group, where only outstanding meet fees or other charges must be paid in full. Athletes will not be released to attach to another team until the outstanding balances are paid.

All accounts are required to utilize the AutoPay function of the Team Unify website. Once your registration is approved, you will be responsible for making sure the AutoPay portion of your account is established.

At the time of registration, a $450.00 fee per member will be processed. This covers the cost of two silicone cap, three team shirts (to be distributed throughout the season), and our administrative fee.

USA Swimming has changed the athlete registration process, each family will be required to submit and pay their own athlete's registration. Once registration with the team is complete, a link will be sent to register for the 23-24 USA Swimming season (after September 1, 2023)

Families with multiple swimmers will recieve a 5% discount on each swimmer, excluding athletes in the Senior 1, Senior 2, National and High Performance Groups.

2. In lieu of an Escrow Account, Meet Fees will be invoiced in each month they occur and will be charged with all other recurring charges. In addition, there will be a $10.00 per athlete per meet charge to help offset coaches costs.

3. Accounts with outstanding balances may be prohibited from competition.

4. Invoices are generated on the 20th of each month, and outstanding balances will be charged to the payment method on file on the first of each month.

5. For all accounts with an outstanding balance after the 15th of each month will be charged a $25.00 late fee.

6. Prior seasons' balance due must be paid in full before a swimmer can register for the next season. This includes any outstanding Meet Entry Fees, Uniform Costs or Tuition Fees.

7. Refunds/Prorates are not available unless approved by Head Coach Chris Sheppard. The only exception is for long term medical leave (longer than 6 weeks), and it must be accompanied by a doctor's note. NO REFUNDS for swimmers suspended from Commonwealth Swimming for disciplinary reasons. Missed days are not subtracted from membership fees.

8. Swimmers out of the water due to medical issues lasting longer than 2 months may request a refund for team dues for the duration of the absence.

9. Although this is distasteful, the coaching staff will reserve the right to refuse admittance to practice for any swimmer due to delinquent fees.
