The fees associated with swimming
with Sugar Creek come from a few different places:
·
Our club operates as
part of Indiana Swimming and USA Swimming, and we collect an annual
membership fee from each swimmer that is then passed onto those
organizations.
·
Membership dues for
SCSC help to cover the swimmer’s use of the facility and
compensation for the coaching staff.
·
Swim meets serve a
dual purpose for all swimmers and teams - they offer athletes a
chance to compete against others, and they provide funding for the
hosting club. The cost to the swimmer is typically $3-$4 dollars
per event swum in a swim meet.
·
The cost for
’equipment’ is limited to goggles, a swim cap, and at
least two swim suits: one for practice and another for
competition.
·
Financial assistance
from the team in the form of discounted fees is available for those
families in need. Proof of eligibility for free or reduced school
lunch is required to receive these discounts, please speak with
Coach Hesse or Coach Dowd for more information.
