Health Club Membership:

Our team is granted limited use non-member privileges at all three
of our practice facilities (Tri-City Court Club, Columbia Basin Racquet Club, and Kia Ora Gym). For swimmers who are non-members a $20/month fee will be billed. NOTE: Use of these facilities is limited to swim practice only, and requires the signing of a waiver to
that club.

Dues Off-Set Obligation:

In addition to the training fees (dues), an additional fee is assessed to
“off-set” what the dues total would otherwise be. This “off-set” fee is $200 per swimmer and may be paid out of pocket or raised through various fund raising/sales opportunities offered throughout the swim year by the team. They include flower sales at Christmas (poinsettias) and spring (color bowls), scrip (gift cards), and any other Channel Cat sponsored fundraising activities. Off-set fees are accumulated through May 31st. Any outstanding amount of dues
off -set obligation will be invoiced in June. Although not required, first year swimmers are encouraged to participate in the dues “off-set” obligation.

Administrative & USS/IES Fees:

Other required fees as part of the Channel Cats and the team’s membership in USS Swimming and the Inland Empire LSC are:

• Team administration fee ($25/swimmer, $40/family). This fee is billed with your October invoice.
• USS/IES annual (calendar year) membership fee of $62.00 ($34.50 for long course only). This fee is billed with your October invoice.

Swim Meet Attendance & Entry Fees:

Attendance at swim meets involves entry fees. Typical Inland Empire meets have an entry fee of $10/swimmer and $3/individual event. Channel Cats also assess a $5/family meet fee to help underwrite the coaches’ travel expenses, as well as, team relay fees. Swimmers are entered into meets based on a swimmer’s meet selection form which is
provided three times through the year (Fall, Winter & Summer). These forms must be turned in to the Head Coach, on or before the date requested. The Channel Cats pay all entry fees up front. Individual swimmer’s entry fees are billed back to the family in the next billing cycle. Remember it is your responsibility to notify the coach & treasurer when and/or if you are unable to attend a meet that you are entered in. Unfortunately, meet entry fees are non-refundable 2 weeks prior to the meet.
