Frequently Asked Questions
what does the practice schedule look like?
We practice in the pool Monday - Thursday 8:15 - 9:30 PM and 7 - 8 AM on Fridays, plus social events! We encourage everyone to attend as many practices as possible, and require that swimmers attend one practice a week.
How much are dues and what do they Cover?
We have a tiered dues system!
​
Competitive ($60): Will cover all internal club costs, including a cap, shirt, and food at team events where applicable, AND the fees for any meet you choose to attend throughout the semester. Paying these dues does NOT require your attendance at meets, but will waive the entry fee for any you do swim at!
Non-Competitive ($40): Will include all internal club costs, including a cap, shirt, and food at team events where applicable. If you choose to attend meets, you MUST pay the meet fee in addition. Paying these dues does NOT affect your ability to attend meets, you can swim at whatever meet/s you would like!
