  • FALL SESSION REGISTRATION
    • Registration is now open for returning swimmers.  Registration will open for NEW swimmers on Monday August 14th
    • Once again, USA Swimming has changed how to register for their annual fee. ☹
      • RETURNING SWIMMERS-The club CAN/WILL pay the fee for you (Historically, the club had been required to do so).  When you register for Fall, register as a RETURNING SWIMMER and the club charges you the $88 USA Swimming Fee and will then register your swimmer with USA Swimming.  This registration will be good for 2024. 
        • YOU HAVE THE CHOICE TO NOT PAY THROUGH THE CLUB.  IF YOU CHOOSE TO NOT PAY THROUGH THE CLUB, YOU CAN REGISTER FOR FALL UNDER ‘NEW SWIMMER’.  IT WILL THEN BE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO REGISTER YOUR SWIMMER ON YOUR OWN.  THEY WILL NOT BE ALLOWED ON DECK 1/1/24 IF NOT REGISTERED.
      • NEW SWIMMERS-We are unable to pay for new swimmers USA Swimming Fee.  You will have to do so through USA swimming for the annual required fee.  You will receive an email from Beth, Registrar, on how to do so after you register your swimmer for fall session.
