Mike at the east end of the pool. The coaching staff will review
your tryout and let you know if you will be offered the opportunity

application will be submitted to the Board for review. If your
application is approved you will be invited to start swimming with
the team and, if you accept the invitation, your first dues payment

Please Note: Annual Dues are are divided
into three four month payment sessions. Swim Torrance does not
prorate dues regardless of the number of days your swimmer attends
practice during the session or if a swimmer becomes inactive
for a portion of the session (i.e. high school sports or other
activities). However, new swimmers’ 1st session dues may
only be prorated if starting in the second, third, or
last month of the session. If a swimmer has not attended
practice and has not paid dues for a period equal to or
exceeding one full session, he/she will be considered a new member
of the team and will be charged the registration fee of

If the Dues
Treasurer or designee does not receive your full payment (including
late fee) by the 15th of the month in which they are due, your
swimmer will not be allowed to swim with the team until outstanding
dues including any late fees are paid. While it is not
the intention of Swim Torrance to put any swimmer out of the water,
unpaid dues influence this action.
Swim Torrance does
not have a refund policy. Therefore, should a swimmer decide to
leave the team before the end of a session, no refunds (annual
registration or session dues) will be paid.
