REGISTRATION
POLICY
All Registrations are completed online. Registration with the
Aquadarts is not transferable from one swimmer to another. Swimmers
are initially assigned to a swim group by the coaches. Transitions
among swim groups are at the discretion of the
coaches. Payment of registration fees is a mandatory
requirement before any swimmer may enter the water.

FEE
PAYMENT
FEE
STRUCTURE
Aquadart fees are paid monthly and are billed to the credit card on
file with the account. Each family is required to set up an
automatic payment method, using a credit card or automatic checking
withdrawal.Fees for the month must be received within 10 days of
the start of a month. It is the responsibility of each family
to make sure their payment information is up to date and to remedy
any declined payments from their payment method.
Fees are discounted for families with three or more swimmers. The
discounted fee applies to the member with the lowest fees.
If a swimmer joins midway through a month, we do not prorate our
fees. Currently registered swimmers returning from inactive
status must notify the team manager two weeks in advance of their
anticipated return date and pay all appropriate fees. If a swimmer
swims even one day in a calendar month, that month must be paid
for. To suspend or terminate membership, parents will need to
notify the team
manager at least 30 days in advance of the first day of the
month that they will no longer be swimming.
Scholarships are available for families who qualify from the Brady
Family Scholarship Fund. For more information and the
application, you may click on the link below.
BRADY FAMILY SCHOLARSHIP FUND
Scholarships are at the discretion of the scholarship committee
and are confidential. Scholarships are not granted for USA
swimming membership fees.
Swimmers whose dues are not current will not be allowed to swim.
Before a swimmer’s participation at practices, meets or team
events is prohibited, a member of the Aquadart staff
will notify his or her parents.
United States of America Swimming (USAS) fees are separate from
Aquadart fees. This fee is non-refundable and provides for national
membership and secondary insurance coverage. NO SWIMMER MAY BE IN
THE POOL WITHOUT A CURRENT U.S.S. REGISTRATION. For insurance
purposes, this rule is absolute and may not be over-ridden by any
Aquadarts administrator.
PARENT PARTICIPATION
REQUIREMENT
DART at Davis depends on volunteers to run the team
successfully. A swim team simply cannot function without the
support of swim parents. We expect that each family will make every
effort to support our team with their time, talents, and energy.
As such, Dart families are required to meet the following
commitments:
- Minimum of 18-26 Volunteer Hours,
based on the swim group of the highest placed swimmer in the
family.
- Timing at away meets your child
is signed up for. These hours are not included in
the Minimum Volunteer Hours.
- Find your replacement if you are
unable to fulfill a position committed to.
- Contribution to the annual
Swim-a-Thon or Swim-for-Fun(ds) fundraiser
Minimum Volunteer
Hours
The swim year is considered to
be September 1st to August 15th.
Families are required to volunteer
a minimum of volunteer hours based on
their highest-level swimmer at the beginning of the swim
year:
- Falldarts/Springdarts: 1 hr for
every month swimming
- AG1, Bronze, Silver and
Gold: 18 hours/year
- AG2, AG3, SR1, SR2. SRHS:
22 hours/year
This amount will be prorated for
swimmers who do not swim for the entire year. Parents have
until August 15th of each year to fulfill their parent
participation requirement. Unfullfilled hours will be billed
at the rate of $25/hour. For the full parent participation

REFUNDS
There are no refunds for fees paid. In the event that a swimmer
must be out of the pool for four consecutive weeks or longer due to
medical reasons, a credit for time lost can be can be given to
future dues. Credits will NOT be allowed for non-medical reasons
and a doctors note is required.
