The Hampton Dolphin Swim Team, like all USA Swim clubs, is run entirely by volunteers, with the exception of coaches who are paid staff. Parents are strongly encouraged to volunteer, and there are myriad opportunities for parents to lend their time, talents, and abilities to the club.

Delinquent Accounts
If accounts are 45 days delinquent, due to an expired, denied credit card or any other reason, the family's swimmer(s) will no longer be permitted to participate in any aspect of program including practices, meets or other club functions. No swimmer will be entered in a meet if the family’s account is not current. 

Prior to annual registration all delinquent accounts must be paid in full.  If a family has a remaining unpaid balance they will be automatically billed the overdue amount at registration checkout.  This amount will automatically be charged to the credit card on file.  If you have a financial hardship and therefore are unable to pay your fees at the time they are due, please contact HD Treasurer at [email protected] immediately to arrange a payment plan. 
 

Meet Fees                                                                                              
Meets will be registered through the Team Unify system and billed in the first of the month billing cycle following the close of entries for each meet.  Meet fees are NON-REFUNDABLE once the entries have been sent to the host team.  These fees are in addition to your monthly dues.  The cost per event is usually $5 but can be more for some meets (additional information for each meet can be found in the meet announcement on the AMS website). Additional charges apply to relays.  Parents are responsible for monitoring their balances within Team Unify.   
  
Multi-Swimmer Discount
There is a 12% discount for membership dues for any family with 2 or more swimmers.

Reimbursements
Swimmers who qualify for Zones, Sectionals, Futures, Juniors, or Nationals, may be eligible for reimbursements by AMS.  Please refer to the AMS website for details. 

Volunteer Policy
Each family is required to work at least two sessions at every meet the Dolphins host (whether that family has a child swimming or not).  You will be automatically billed ($100 per session) through Team Unify if you don’t meet the required volunteer sessions after each meet.  Please review volunteer requirements in full for additional details.
