The Clovis Swim Club program has evolved into one of the best competitive swim programs in California for developing young swimmers with individual attention from caring coaches. Our emphasis will be to demonstrate that a swimmer wins every time he or she improves a time, and not just when he or she reaches the end of the pool first. Clovis Swim Club produces not only young people who swim fast, but young people with a sense of self worth, sound self esteem, better character and consideration for others.

We work for the quality, not the quantity of swimmers. The only way to maintain quality is with fair sharing of resources. Keeping excellent coaches from leaving for other teams means competitive compensation that is predictable and consistent. A mammoth swim team has a difficult time sustaining the level of individual attention and quality of coaching for our children that we think is important. Controlling the size of our team means we all have to pitch in to support the team with our time, talents, and financial support.

Clovis Swim Club policy requires continuing fees even when a swimmer is on vacation or is temporarily missing practice for some other reason.

Please remember the following elements of our swim team policy:

Ø Families are committeed to 35 hours of Service (~3 hours/month). Please see separate policy (New members have 20 hours)

Ø Fees are billed on the 21^st for the following month and due by 20^th of the following month .

Ø $10 Late fees will be automatically charged to your account if not paid on time.

Ø If you swim for any portion of a billing period, you must pay for all of the billing period.

Ø A $25 processing fee is assessed to all swimmers that become inactive and then return within the 2009-2010 season. New swimmers entering the program after the beginning of a quarter will pay pro-rated dues assessed in one-month increments based on each practice group’s monthly fee structure.

Ø Families are responsible for all dues assessed prior to written receipt of inactivation notice. Written notices must be received by the Aquatics Office (not your coach).

Ø No refunds will be given on dues to swimmers who go inactive unless they meet the following criteria:

Swimmer moves from current address to a residence more than 20 miles from one of our practice facilities.
Swimmer or immediate family member becomes ill or injured to the extent that the swimmer will be unable to swim for at least 4 consecutive weeks.
