Our dues for Onyx through National actually represent an annual payment that we have broken into monthly installments.  Pre Prep, Prep, High School levels and the Masters program are on a month-to-month basis.

Q: How do we pay for swim meets?

A: Every swim meet has entry fees associated with it. Those fees are calculated and are typically added to your next monthly invoice. In most cases, even if your child does not attend a meet, you are still responsible for the entry fees. Please read the meet book to see the cost of entry. In most cases, there is a surcharge due for each swimmer and a cost per event entered. We charge a KMSC fee to meets to partially offset the costs of sending coaches to meets to take care of your swimmers.  Local meets have a $5 KMSC fee, out-of-town meets have a slightly higher  KMSC meet fee as we offset hotel stays and out-of-state meets have the highest KMSC meet fee.  These extra meets do not cover all of our weekend costs to coach your swimmers but offsetting some of the costs of providing this service to our members helps us create a healthy competitive schedule for all KMSC swimmers.

A: Please contact Coach John or Coach Josh.
