Detailed below is a summary of the fees and/or dues that may appear on the monthly bill. Each member will be responsible for these financial obligations.
            1. Monthly Training Fees- Each member is required to pay the appropriate monthly training dues in a timely fashion as set forth in this billing policy.
            2. Meet Entry Fees - The entry fees (set by the host team) are charged for each meet entered by a member. Meet entries are to be prepaid by the participant. Once entry fees have been sent to the host team or the meet program has been seeded for LAC events, you will be responsible for the entry fees even if you decided not to compete due to personal choice or illness, no exceptions. Lack of knowledge of the meet entry process does not waive meet entry fees.   Swimmers who compete in a relay will be charged the entry fee for participation in that event.

I agree to be fully responsible for all charges incurred for training fees, entry fees, and all other charges billed. I have reviewed and am in agreement with the billing policies of the Lancaster Aquatic Club.
