Portneuf Valley Swim Team Fall 2023
New Swimmer Information and Registration
Thank you for your interest in joining the Krakens! We swim September through July with no minimum or maximum months or practices required to be a part of the team. To help you navigate our program, here is some pertinent information to help you get started:
START BY GETTING EVALUATED & COME TRY OUT THE TEAM
Each Friday, starting September 8th at the City Rec. Center, your swimmer can be evaluated for placement on the swim team. There is NO COST or obligation to come and have your swimmer evaluated.
Please email [email protected] before coming so we can schedule accordingly.
Elementary age swimmers – Between 3:15 and 4:00 We will have your swimmer get in the pool, for about 5 minutes, and show us the swim skills they know.
Middle and High School age swimmers can actually try out the team without an evaluation. Please come any Monday - Friday from 4:00 to 4:45 pm.
TRY OUR TEAM ONE WEEK FREE*: We allow new swimmers one week to try the team without any cost or obligation to join, to ensure it is something they want to continue before you start getting invoices.
*Does not apply to the Little Squids group

FEES & BILLING INFORMATION
FEE SCHEDULE*: Please visit the Fees page to see information on monthly fees, fundraising, Rec. Center Membership, USA Swimming’s annual Insurance and Swim Meet fees.
Note: All swimmers MUST be members of the Community Recreation Center (CRC) to swim for PVST. Membership is $22 per month for the first youth member in a family, $22/month for the next family member, and $5/month per person after that. Fees are paid through automatic bank account withdrawals and all members must have a membership card which is $5. Swimmers must scan their cards to enter the CRC. This membership includes all CRC membership privileges. (PVST does not process CRC memberships—please visit CRC Front Desk to set up your membership.)
*Little Squids pay an additional $11 in lieu of a Rec. Center Membership if not already a member.
**Masters may pay an additional $15 in lieu of a Rec. Center Membership unless they are already a member.
MONTHLY BILLING/INVOICES:
PVST utilizes QuickBooks for invoicing and payments.
Please do not enter credit /debit card info when registering your swimmer on Team Unify, as we do not use them for billing.
Around the 5th of the month, you will receive an invoice from QuickBooks with a link that you can pay online with debit card, credit card or bank draft. There is no obligation to swim every month, you decide when it fits into your schedule. Please notify [email protected] if you don’t plan on swimming in the upcoming month so you don’t get invoiced.
*SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE: We do have a scholarship fund set aside, please contact [email protected] for more information.
