- Individual Entries/Relay fee: Cost of each individual event your swimmer races. Relay costs are divided by the 4 swimmers in the relay.
- This is done to offset the cost of running a meet
- Team Meet Fee: This is a per swimmer fee added by Tsunamis Swim Team. This fee helps cover the cost of sending a coach to a meet.
- These fees differ by meet and can be found in the invitation.
**These fees maybe higher due to Covid and the restricted number of athletes and lack of spectators allowed on deck.

- If account goes more than 60 days past due, the swimmer(s) will be unable to practice until account has been brought up to date or a payment plan has been put into place. If you are on a payment plan, any meet fees that are due during that time must be paid in full.

Any Tsunami swimmers that decide to take a month (or more) off, with intention of returning to Tsunami Swim Team, may take a “Leave of Absence”. This leave needs to be communicated with your coaches before the 25th of the month prior to avoid being billed for the time you are gone.
- Once an invoice has been generated for the following month, because the coaching staff was not informed of the planned time off, the invoice must be paid regardless of the number of days the swimmer attended practice.
