Other Expenses:

 

USA Swimming Registration/ Membership/Insurance

 

Every athlete must become a member of USA Swimming. This Membership is renewable every year. Included with this registration is secondary medical accident insurance that covers the athlete and club at any sanctioned event or supervised practice.

 

Meet Fee Expenses

 

All meet fees are a separate charge on your account and must be paid in full by the due date on your invoice. Meet fees may vary depending on the swim meet. To find out how much a swim meet will cost please read the meet info/fact sheet. The meet info sheet (for each individual swim meet) will be posted on our website in the “Events” section. All meet entry fees are non- refundable after the registration deadline. A $5 club surcharge is added to each meet as it is posted to your account to assist with the cost of staffing.

 

Fundraising

The team will host fundraising events to help the team make large purchases for team training (headsets, swim chutes, tethers, medicine balls, jump ropes, underwater cameras, ect), coach training, and or travel. Fundraising events also help keep the monthly costs lower for all families.  The fundraising events we have are hosting meets and swim-a-thons. 

 

When we host meets all parents not on the opt out payment plans are required to help out at the meets.  The positions that need to be filled are timers, marshals, admin desk assistant, officials, computer operator, and more as needed. 

 

Swim-a-thons are another way we fundraise for the team.  Every swimmer is responsible for their fair share of fundraising.  After that commitment is met, all other funds are to help the swimmer with gear, swag, and or travel.

 

Team Travel

 

Athletes participating in team travel are required to have two team shirts, a team backpack, and team sweats. The Booster Club provides team sweats one time as an incentive when the athlete achieves their first “AA” time. This is incentive starts March 1^st, 2021.  After that is the responsibility of the member to maintain the necessary equipment required for team travel.

An inactivation notice must be received prior to the 15th of the month in which you wish to become inactive. Families are responsible for all dues that are assessed prior to receipt of notice.

 

To reactivate your account, please e-mail Coach Jeremiah and your account will be reactivated. If a swimmer goes inactive and then reactivates within the same swim year, the account will be assessed a $25.00 reactivation fee.
