Dues & Fees

  • Dues may be paid in two installments: ½ due with completed registration form, and final ½ paid by December 1st.
  • Payment can be paid by cash or check, payable to Sylvania Tsunami Swim Club.
  • Dues include three things: General Club Dues, USA Swimming Membership and Meet Entry Fee Account. The dues and fees for each training group are outlined in the Training Group Information. 
           Example of how your dues break down:        
                   White Group A
                   $500.00 General Dues
                      56.00 USA Swimming
                      125.00 Beginning balance of Meet Entry Fee Acct       
                   $681.00 Total Dues and Fees
 
1. General Club Dues cover the club’s expenses associated with staff, pool rental and general administration.
 
2. Each swimmer is required to have an annual USA Swimming membership. The swim club will complete the USA Swimming registration and submit $56.00 for each swimmer.
 
3. Included in the total dues is a beginning balance for your Meet Entry Fee Account.
     At swim meets, the host club charges a meet entry fee for each eventswum by a swimmer. Fees vary by meet, but are typically $3 to $7 foreach event. A typical session (1/2 day) at a swim meet averages $25, but will vary based on the number of events in which your swimmer will participate.
 
  • Meet entry fees are paid to the host club several weeks before the meet. Therefore, you will be notified of each meet’s entry deadline, by which date you will need to enter your swimmer(s). This can be done either online at www.sylvaniatsunami.com or onsite at the pool on the club’s bulletin board.
  • Entry fees must be paid in advance to insure swimmer eligibility, and are non-refundable after the deadline. 
  • A Meet Entry Account will be set up for each swimmer at the beginning of the season. An estimate of the funds needed for the minimum required meets has been included in the fee schedule for each training group. (ie., White A Group swimmers will participate in 5 meets, so $125 will be the starting level of their Meet Entry Fee Account.) That money will be used specifically for meet entries. You will be able to see the amounts used for each meet on your invoices.
  • As meet entries are submitted, the total amount due will be deducted from your Meet Entry Fee Account. As the season progresses, we ask that you monitor your Meet Entry Fee Account to make sure you have adequate funds available for meet entries. If your Meet Entry Fee Account has a zero balance, you will be asked to pay the entry fees before the meet deadline. Failure to pay entry fees by the specified deadline will result in the removal of your swimmer from the meet.
