We offer various memberships during the year: Full Year, Short Course, Long Course, and Summer College Conditioning.
Short Course Session runs from September into March, and is the "regular season" for USA Swimming. Swimmers attend practice multiple times per week after school and participate in 25-yard local and out-of-town competitions throughout the season. For those with qualifying times, there are championship meets in February, March and April. For any swimmers who also swim on their school swim team during the regular short course season, we offer a discounted short course membership fee.
Long Course runs from mid-April to early August. Swimmers attend practice multiple times per week and may participate in 50-meter local competitions. For those with qualifying times, there are championship meets in late July and early August.
Summer College Conditioning is for any College student who is home for the summer, and wishes to swim with our club.
A Full Year membership runs from September through August with all of the practice times and champinionship meets stated previously.
You can read about our full membership and payment options in our team handbook. Please note: Installment plans are only available for sign up through 10/31. Installment plans are still an agreement to pay for the entire season; they are just an alternative to paying the full cost up front.
All members of the TigerSharks must be registered with USA Swimming. You will pay that fee directly to USA Swimming.
