Registration for returning swimmers (registered to the 2022 team) will begin online at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, January 21, 2023, and end at 11:59 p.m. on Saturday, January 28, 2023. Returning swimmers who register during this time period will retain their place on the summer swim team. Returning swimmers who do not register during this time will forfeit their returning swimmer status and must register in person during new swimmer registration on Saturday, February 4, 2023. Please see the "Returning Swimmers" page under the Registration drop-down menu for more information.
Please note that participation in prior Arden Park Fall Swim Programs does not confer “returning swimmer” status to a swimmer for the 2023 summer season registration.
NEW SWIMMERS (SWIMMER AGES 5 - 18) - SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4
IN PERSON at the Arden Park Community Center
For all new swimmers (siblings of a returning swimmer, or former members wanting to return to the team, please email [email protected]) registration will be in person at the Arden Park Community Center, located at 1000 La Sierra Drive, on Saturday, February 4, 2022. Please see the “New Swimmers” page under the "Registration" tab for more information on registering a new swimmer.
2023 Registration Fees
Registration fees for the 2023 summer season:
$300 for the first swimmer,
$245 for the second sibling swimmer,
$200 for each additional sibling swimmers,
$150 for High School age swimmers.
High school swimmer registration fees apply to those swimmers CURRENTLY attending high school at the time of registration (in high school for the 2022-23 school year). A non-high school sibling of a high school swimmer is considered the first swimmer and will be subject to a registration fee of $300.
Refunds will be given, up to April 14, 2023, to those swimmers who decide not to swim for the 2023 swim season. After the April 14 deadline, requests for refunds will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, with Board approval required. In addition, if your swimmer is unable to successfully complete the swimmer readiness test, a refund will be given.
PLEASE NOTE: Upon completion of team registration, NO refunds will be issued to swimmers moving to another team.
Volunteer Requirements
The Arden Park Dolphins Swim Team prides itself on well-run meets, which are due entirely to our dedicated parent volunteers! Each family will be required to sign up for a specific number of team volunteer jobs during the season. The exact number of jobs will be determined after registration. Jobs for the Conference Championship Meet held in July are additional jobs that all families attending Champs will be required to sign-up for.
Each year we strive to ensure each family contributes by fulfilling their share of jobs. Yet, inevitably, a few families simply do not complete their volunteer commitment, resulting in more work for the other families. Therefore, during registration families are required to have on file an active credit card in their family's Team Unify account. At the end of the season, if a family's required volunteer shifts were not completed, your family account will be charged $300.
Families with ONLY high school swimmers are exempt from job requirements during the regular season. All families attending Champs are required to sign up for volunteer jobs.
Northern California Swim League Registration
The Arden Park Dolphins Swim Team is a member of the Northern California Swim League. In addition to registering with the Arden Park Dolphins, each swimmer must also be registered with NCSL. We are currently waiting on league registration details for the 2023 season. Stay tuned for more information.
