SSC has fixed costs that include pool rental and coaches’ salaries.  The pool rental is not determined on a month-to-month basis, but by signing a yearly lease with the University of Oklahoma .  Dues are based on an annual fee, which is broken down into monthly installments for the convenience of our members. Dues are to be paid monthly.  SSC depends upon prompt payment of monthly dues in order to meet the club’s financial obligations for coach’s salaries, pool rental, taxes and travel. In order to meet these obligations, dues must be received by the 10th of each month for that swimming period. Payments received after the 10th are subject to a $10.00 late fee. Dues and other fees are NOT prorated for partial periods EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF NEW SSC MEMBERS.  If you have any questions, please contact a club official. The following rates reflect monthly and annual charges:  ALL RATES SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

Parents with more than one swimmer may reduce the monthly fee for each additional swimmer over the first swimmer by $5.00 per swimmer.   

Note:  fees are subject to change upon Board approval.  Fees and dues are not prorated or refunded.

DUES ARE PAID EVERY MONTH FOR THE FULL MONTH YEAR ROUND WHETHER WE SWIM OR NOT.  

SWIMMERS WHO ARE BEHIND IN ANY PAYMENTS THE EQUIVLALENT OF 60 DAYS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED IN THE WATER UNTIL PAYMENTS ARE BROUGHT TO A CURRENT STATUS.  

Reinstatement Fees:

When member families discontinue paying monthly dues, unless the swimmer is injured and incapable of participating in SSC, the swimmer forfeits their membership. A physician’s letter will be required to validate injuries. Reinstatement occurs when the member family remits the equivalent of up to three (3) months’ dues per swimmer to be reinstated. This figure is capped at the equivalent of the 2 swimmers paying the highest monthly dues for families with more than 2 swimmers.  Back dues or $150 will be required for reinstatement.

Volunteer Hours:

All families are required to work a minimum of 15 hours per year.  The period of time runs from mid August of the current year through mid August of the new year.  The time volunteered is tracked during the year and it is the responsibility of the families to make sure all time spent volunteering is submitted to the coordinator for tracking.  At the end of the year all unworked hours are billed to the family at a rate of $15 per hour left unworked.

Note: Summer only swim families are required to volunteer a minimum of 5 hours.  Volunteer hours may be reduced for various reasons subject to Board approval.
