Electronic payments:  OCA accepts only electronic payments (credit card or ACH transfer) through the team website.  If for some reason payment of dues and fees are not made electronically there will be a $25 per month fee associated with manual payments. Any payment not made by the 15th of the month will also be assessed a $25 late fee. OCA requires that the account holder be the one responsible for the monthly payments on the account. In the case of separate households there can only be one account holder. The secondary account can still receive emails and notifications from the team.  

Canceling membership: If you wish to cancel your membership, a written notice must be received by the 15th day of the month prior to withdrawal to the team administrator through the contact us link on the website (www.ocaswim.com) If written notification is not received by the 15th, you are responsible for the training fees for the following month.

Placing Membership on hold:  Membership can be placed on hold upon approval from the OCA administrator due to prolonged illness or injury that causes a break from training. This is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. A break is not allowed for another activity outside of OCA. If a swimmer chooses to take a break that is not approved by OCA administrator there will be a $350 reinstatement fee. There will be no guarantee a spot will be available after the break.

If you have questions about these policies, please contact the team administrator.
