Registration for Spring/Summer 2026
- Early Bird Registration opens on Sunday, February 1, 2026 to RETURNING FAMILIES ONLY. Early bird registration fee for 14/unders is $430 and for 15/ups is $255. This is ONE registration fee that covers BOTH spring and summer.
- Early Bird Registration ends Sunday, February 15th at midnight .
- Regular Registration begins Monday, February 16th, and is open to new and returning families. Regular registration fees for 14/unders is $480 and for 15/ups is $255.
- Our team registration fees have NOT increased from last year. We have added on a $5 booster fee per swimmer that will be donated to the Benicia High School Aquatics Program. The majority of our swimmers will participate in the BHS Aquatics Program, and this is a small way to demonstrate our support.
- There is a $35 discount for each sibling that registers after the initial registrant
- Please review the volunteer requirements closely and make sure that you are aware of your family requirements.
- Review all of the information for the 2026 Season before registering!
- New 10/under swimmers must attend tryouts to ensure they are water safe and can swim 25 yards across the pool. If your swimmer does not pass tryouts, your 8/under may move to the Little Rays Program and receive a refund for the cost difference. If your 9/10 does not pass tryouts, we will refund the registration fee minus a $25 processing fee. If you know your 8/under swimmer will not pass tryouts, you can register for the Little Rays Program from the beginning.
Little Rays
- 8/under swimmers who are new to swimming and can not independently swim 25 yards may sign up for Little Rays!
