Fees
Fees are based on a 26-week short course
season. Additional fees are for USA
Swimming membership, which is $50 annually and an increase from last year by
USA Swimming, and a $25 escrow fee to cover meet fees. The escrow fund is used to pay meet fees
when a meet is entered. Each meet has surcharges and splash fees that vary with
the meet . You will be billed to keep
this fund at $25. If you were
previously registered in Spirit Swimming, these escrow fees have already been
paid. These fees are due at the time of
registration.
Families with more than
one person swimming with the team may use a 10% discount for each additional
swimmer. The discount will be taken
from the swimmer with the lowest fees.
