Family Fee Obligation Notification
Payment Method: Neptune Swimming requires members to sign up for ACH or Credit Card Payment. A monthly invoice will be sent via email, outlining the charges to your credit card or bank account. Monthly dues are to be taken out on the 1st of the month. To review current and past invoices, sign into your account. Click on “My Account” then click “Billing Summary”. Please note that you MUST maintain an active and frequently accessed email address as there will be communications for both billing and other team functions. A late fee of $25.00 will be charged if payment is not received.
Annual Family Obligation: Each family has an annual obligation fee of $120.00, which is billed in August and due September 1st of each swim year. Reminders and an invoice will be sent to your email before this amount is drafted out of your account on September 1st.
Fundraising Obligation: Each family has an annual swim season fundraising commitment. The fundraising obligation cost breakdown is $150.00 for one swimmer, $200.00 for two swimmers and $250.00 for three or more swimmers. Our fundraiser is our annual Swim A Thon! Fundraising amount will be billed in May and due by June 1st.*
Volunteer Obligation: Our team parents are required to volunteer a minimum of 36 hours per swim season. 24 hours should be worked at our team hosted meets and 12 hours should be worked at away meets. Volunteer hours are tracked on an annual basis for the swim year of September to August through our Team Unify Website. You are responsible for reporting your hours. Hours do not roll over from season to season. A bill will be sent for the hours that are not completed at a rate of $35.00 per hour on September 1st.*
The Neptune Swim Program is a year-round program and our dues structure is based on an annual budget. If you choose to take a leave of absence from the team, a 30-day written notice is required. Without a written notice, monthly dues, including late fees will be charged. The notice may be emailed to [email protected]. This includes senior swimmers taking a break for high school swimming and/or other sports.
*Both the fundraising commitment and volunteer hours commitments are based on the swim season, which runs from September to August. If a member joins the team after the swim season begins, both commitments are pro-rated for that season. Please note: that all families are responsible for meeting fundraising and service hours requirement, even if they take a temporary break during the swim season.
Neptune Swimming hosts 4-6 meets per year with in our swim season (September to August). These meets require parent volunteers. Meets simply can not run with out your help!
Neptune Swimming Family Volunteer Obligation- Neptune Swimming is a volunteer sport - it literally cannot happen without parental support. Each SRN family is required to volunteer a minimum of 36 hours per year. These hours are accrued from the first day of membership at the rate of 3 hours per month. Each hour is equivalent to $35.00. Any unworked hours will be billed on September 1.
Steps to sign up for volunteering -
- Log into your account on the Neptune Swimming website.
- Click the “Job Sign Up’ button.
- Check the box next to the job and timeslot you would like to work.
- Once the box is checked, click “sign up” at the top of the job sign up.
- Fill in contact information, click “sign up”.
- You know you will have signed up when your name is bold under the job slot you have chosen.
Away meets - When attending away meets, Neptune Swimming is required to provide volunteers to fill timing chairs. To help meet this requirement, we ask that all families traveling to the meet sign up for timing shifts during the weekend. Each Neptune family should aim to contribute 12 hours of volunteering at away meets.
Any hours that are not signed up for on the website are your responsibility to report. Send your hours to Ashley @ [email protected]
Corporate sponsors - You can earn volunteer credit by bringing in corporate sponsors. The minimum corporate sponsor requires a $600.00 donation and will cover 20 of volunteering. A $1,200 donation will cover all 36 hours of volunteering. In return the company will receive an ad displayed on our website. Email Ashley @ [email protected] for more information.
Officiating - Our team is always in need of more officials for meets. Officiating is an excellent way to support our swimmers, gain detailed knowledge about the sport, get unobstructed views, and earn $30 credit per session to offset club fees. Being an official also removes the need for volunteer hours (as long as you stay active). The first step to becoming an official is letting us know you are interested!
