Registration Fees: A CAC registration fee and a MD Swimming registration fee (total of $40) is required for all swimmers once per year (September – August). These fees are payable at the time of registration and are nonrefundable. There is no discount of these fees for multiple children in a family. 

Cancellation /Refund Policy: I understand that after registration is finalized with Calvert Aquatics Club, I have committed to Swim and am responsible to make the effort to attend all the scheduled practices.

Refund information can be found in the by-laws, here is an excerpt of the CAC policy:

Article 5.2 Fees and Dues: Each member must pay, as determined by and within the time and on the conditions set by, the executive committee, a registration fee, and any monthly and/or annual fees to be determined and in amounts to be fixed from time to time by the executive committee. No refunds will be given after the initial thirty (30) day registration date. Swim meet fees will be billed monthly and are non-refundable. Refunds in the event of military relocation will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, when notification is given to the Executive Committee. 

If a credit is issued, it must be used before the end of each swimming year September 1st – July 31st, no refunds will be issued. 

If an extreme circumstance arises, such as a broken bone, severe illness, or significant family emergency, please notify your coach immediately. For injuries/illnesses, please follow the policy for returning to swim.

• Every swimmer enrolled in the Seasonal Program (7 or 8-week session) may receive a credit toward the next session if 50% or more of practices have been missed consecutively. The credit will be 25% of the session fee that can be used toward the next session (within the current swimming year).
• Every swimmer enrolled in the Year-Round Program/Short Course Season/Long Course Season may receive a credit if 30 days or more of practices have been missed consecutively. The credit will be issued based on the amount of time missed but not greater than 20% of the season. The credit can be used toward swim meet fees, installment payments, etc. (within the current swimming year).

Program Fees: Program fees are payable at the time of registration. Registration is completed online. Members are encouraged to pay in full at the time of registration and must use a credit or debit card. Checks will not be accepted. To reduce CAC processing fees, we encourage our membership to take advantage of the Team Unify AHC/debit card processing.

Meet Entry Fees: Meet entry fees are charged on a per-event basis. A credit card or checking account (ACH) must be kept on file and all charges for the month will be automatically paid on the last day of the month. Meet entry fees are not refundable under any circumstances except cancellation of the meet by the host team.

Meet Surcharge Fees: A $15.00 per swimmer-per meet surcharge will be added to your billing account. CAC will not charge this surcharge for “home meets”, these are considered swim meets that are held at the Edward T. Hall Aquatic Center. This $15 meet surcharge offsets the coach’s expenses that CAC pays for each swim meet.

Installment Payment Plan: Year-Round program fees can optionally be paid in installments. The first installment is due at registrations and subsequent installments are due according to the table below. If you choose the installment plan, you must keep a credit card or checking account (ACH) on file and allow the payment to be automatically charged to your account. By choosing an installment plan, you are committing to payment in full, for the full amount. Registration Fee (as stated above) is due at the time of registration.

Family Discount: CAC offers reduced fees for families with multiple members registered in the year-round programs. We give a $100 discount for 2 athletes, $200 for three athletes, $300 for four athletes, and $400 for five athletes. If using an Installment Plan, the family discount is calculated and deducted at the time of registration. Monthly memberships are not eligible for the family discount.
