New swimmers are allowed one week of swimming without further obligation. Please notify SUNN secretary (info@sunn.org or 408-306-7930) on or before the last day of the trial week if your swimmer does not wish to continue, and we will return your registration payment.

Multi-swimmer discount

SUNN offers a generous family dues discount for families with more than one active, year-round swimmer. Families with two swimmers may deduct $15.00 per month from the family’s dues; families with three swimmers may deduct $30.00 per month; and families with four swimmers may deduct $45.00 from their monthly total dues.

Payment details

Monthly dues are paid for 12 months over an 11 month period. Members will pay their monthly fee for September thru July. All payments must be received by the 10thof each month. A $10.00 fee will be assessed for payments received after that date. Payments should be mailed to SUNN Swimming, P.O. Box A, Sunnyvale, CA 94087, or left in the treasurer's folder at the pool. All checks should be made out to the "SUNN Swimming". No cash please. A $25 handling charge will be assessed on each returned check.

For first time or returning swimmers, first month dues may be pro-rated. However, after the first month, dues will not be pro-rated and must be paid in full for any month during which the swimmer swims with SUNN, even once.

We do not offer make-ups, refund or credits for missed practices.

Change of status: Inactive /Withdrawals

If a swimmer will not be attending practice or meets for a month or more, SUNN offers an inactive status, with advance written notice. Monthly dues for inactive swimmers are $35.00/month (no discounts for multiple swimmers when one is in inactive status).

To withdraw a swimmer from the team or have a swimmer placed in inactive status, please fill out the Change of Status online form. Note that the form must be filled out and submitted by the 15th of the month prior to the month the swimmer change is to take effect. There are no exceptions. A confirmation email will be sent to you acknowledging the change.

Fundraising

Registration fees and monthly dues are not enough to cover all of our club expenses. SUNN expenses for the 2011-2012 season will increase significantly due to large increases in pool expenses and insurance. As a result, we are faced with either making a large increase in everyone’s dues or increasing fundraising. We have chosen to increase our fundraising as it gives more flexibility for all our families. There is a fundraising goal of $200 per swimmer or $500 per family for the 2011-2012 season. This can be met in a number of ways:

Participate in the Swim-a-thon and enlist family, friends, and neighbors to pledge support for your swimmer(s).
Solicit sponsorship for SUNN with local businesses. We are always looking for sponsors and advertisers for our hosted swim meet programs. Any amount a company donates to SUNN as a result of your efforts will count toward your fundraising goal.
Solicit donations for our hosted swim meets. Donations of coffee, donuts, bagels, hamburgers, and anything else we need at our swim meets will count toward your fundraising goal.
Write a check for the full amount of your fundraising goal and be done with it. Or, increase your monthly dues by approx. $18 a month. You can write a quarterly check if you prefer.
Any combination of the suggestions listed above.

Volunteer Hours

All team families are required to volunteer time to support SUNN’s meet and/or social activities, in order to support SUNN’s goal of providing a quality and fun competitive swimming program. SUNN’s volunteer service program requires each family to volunteer at the 10&Under Championship hosted by SUNN on April 28, 2012, as well as 12 hours per year (September through August). Moreover, families are expected to volunteer at meets entered by their swimmers. There will be many opportunities to volunteer throughout the year, especially when SUNN hosts swim meets. Any unfulfilled hours may be bought out for $35/hour. At the end of each swim year, any unfulfilled hours will be billed at $35/hour. More about SUNN's Service program.
