All 3 of these steps must be completed before attending a BDST Masters practice:
1) Register with BDST Masters
2) Register with USMS/OMS 
3) Purchase admission to Salem Tennis and Swim Club (STSC) or Dallas Aquatic Center (DAC)
 
If you would like to swim a trial week with BDST, you will still need to complete the 3 steps above and send an email to the coaches, [email protected], to schedule your trial week. You will not have to commit to a month of BDST dues until after your trial week. If you join the team, you will then pay for the month of dues during which your trial week occurred. You may also simply join the team without participating in a trial week.
