In years past the Family Commitment fee (FCF) has been $40 per session ($20 per month). With the club growing and hosting more events than ever before, we’ve taken on even greater projects in the form of championship swim meets, open swim meets, novice meets, as well as numerous social events. These events have increased our need for parent volunteers. As a member owned club we try to keep our tuition fees low by using our membership as volunteers for services. You have the ability to earn 100% of your FCF fees back by simply volunteering at any of our events. Swimmers who participate/register in 10 or more consecutive months of swimming (beginning September) will receive the 11 th month FCF (July/August) waived. The max total payment collected for a full time swimmer will be $250. This reflects a $10 raise in Family Commitment fees over previous years. 50 hours of volunteer work are needed to earn back the entire amount (rate = $5/hour). Your volunteer hours will be updated on the web site so you’ll be able to track your refund progress. FCF are applied to each family, not each swimmer. You will be able to track your Family Commitment hours from this web site. Questions about your hours or looking for job to earn back your payment?

COORDINATED MEET ENTRY (CME)
Swimmers in the Gold, JO, Senior Development, Senior Blue and Senior Gold group will be entered in swim meets by their coaches. Payment for the meet fees will be made on a per meet basis and added to your montly invoice. On the 1st of the next month, the transaction will process along with your next tution bill.
When a meet is approaching, your coach will tell you what events he wants you to enter via your on-line account. For some meets your coach will let you choose your events, for others you will be told what to swim. Your job is to accept the swim meet on-line or reject it. If you accept the meet you can then work with your coaches on any changes or do nothing other than show up and swim. The fees for the meet will be added to your monthly tuition bill and will transact with your monthly tuition on the 1 st of next month. If you do not let your coach know that you can’t swim in a particular meet you will be charged for the meet entry and no refund can be issued.
Participation in the Coordinated Meet Entry system is mandatory for the above-mentioned groups. Any swimmer refusing to participate in the CME will be asked to join the Varsity group, as there is no meet entry requirement for that group. Swimmers will not be entered in any meets if they account falls into arrears.
TERMINATION
If you choose to leave the club, you must notify our office team in writing. They will immediate deactivate your swimmer and insure that no further payments will process. Termination without a medical note will be effective the next month. If you fail to notify the club that you are no longer attached, you will continue to be charged until we are able to determine that you are no longer associated with the club.
If your swim membership is terminated by the Board Of Directors for disciplinary reasons, you will not receive a refund for the portion of the month missed.
