Dolphin Swim Club
I/We agree to the following terms and
payment conditions in order for my/our child/children to participate on the
Grand Junction Dolphin Swim Team. The terms are as follows: 1. The yearly United States Swimming
(USS) and any yearly club registration fee are non-refundable and must be
paid prior to the swimmer entering the water. New swimmers to the
Dolphins may participate for one week prior to payment. 2. If you choose to pay a monthly fee
(blue or gold swimmers only), the fee is due on the fifth (5th) day of the
month. Non-payment of monthly fees past the due date, which is the
fifth of each month, will necessitate non-participation for the swimmer until
payment is made. When a swimmer is moved from one group
to another, the monthly fee or balance of a pro-rated session fee changes to
the highest group in which he/she is participating. When joining the
Dolphins mid-month, dues will be pro-rated. Fees may increase during the
year due to increased pool fees, coach's fees, etc. The Dolphin Board
of Directors may also adopt fee adjustments to high school swimmers who swim
only a portion of a Dolphin trimester during high school swim season. 3. Meet entry fees are in addition to
monthly or session fees. Nonpayment of entry fees will also necessitate
non-participation for the swimmer(s) until payment is made. A swimmer's
meet entry will NOT be completed without paid entry fees, and the swimmer
will not be permitted to swim at the meet unless the host team accepts late
entry and payment directly from the swimmer. Meet entries will not be
accepted unless dues are current. 4. All outstanding fees from prior
sessions must be paid in full before registration for the next session.Your full session fees, or your first month's
dues are payable with the signing of this contract before your swimmer can
enter the water. Blue and gold swimmers may elect to pay the trimester
payment in two installments, one due at registration, and the balance due on
the fifth of the following month. Should the remaining balance not be
paid in full by the 5th of the following month, your swimmer will be deemed
to have elected the monthly payment option, and will pay accordingly.
Late payments are subject to a $5.00 late charge. 5. Credit is not issued for missed
practice time. 6. Should a swimmer decide to
discontinue participation in the program with the Dolphins, all outstanding
entry fees, administrative, or other fees are considered an obligation to the
Dolphin Swim Club, and are payable upon termination. 7. Each blue and gold swimmer must
fulfill a fund raising obligation of $125.00 per year. This
obligation is intended to encourage each Dolphin Swim Club family
to participate in Dolphin fundraising efforts and assure a continuation
of a strong club. Super 8's, Bronze, and silver swimmers do fundraising
as noted on registration form. 8. A fundraising assessment will be
charged to your fund raising account every January or upon registration, whichever
comes first. Blue and gold swimmers have until July 10 of each year to
pay this assessment. While you may pay the assessment outright, we
encourage you to meet the obligation through fundraising credits. Super 8's,
bronze, and silver swimmers must pay the assessment during the session for
which it is assessed. 10. In addition to the above, each
Dolphin family is required to complete nine (9) hours of non-meet,
non-sponsorship fundraising per trimester. An excellent and easy way to
complete this obligation is by working Dolphin bingo sessions. The
bingo master will record your hours and turn them in to the fundraising
chairman. Other fundraising opportunities may be announced periodically
for which you may complete your 9 hours. Failure to fulfill this
requirement will result in a fee of $15.00 per hour for each hour not
worked. This assessment must be paid prior to registration for any
session or participation in any Dolphin activity or meet. Super 8's and
bronze must work 1 bingo session per quarter; silvers must work 2 bingo
sessions per quarter. 11. Each Dolphin family is needed for
work at our swim meets. Please volunteer. Meets and fundraisers
are essential to the health of our team and to keep dues affordable. 12. Any checks returned to the Dolphin
Swim Club for non-sufficient funds will be subject to a $25.00 additional
charge. 13. If fees are not paid to the Dolphin
Swim Club in a timely manner, the delinquent account may be liable for all
collection costs, attorney's fees, and the $5.00 per month late charge from
the date the account first becomes delinquent. 14. Each swimmer will be required to
sign a swimmer honor code of conduct. Failure to comply with this code
may result in the swimmer being asked to leave the team. 15. This agreement supercedes
appendices 2 and 6 of the Parent Handbook, and shall be copied as Appendix 2
in future revisions of the Handbook. Swimmers cannot participate with
Dolphins until the terms and conditions are signed and this agreement and the
Code of Conduct has been returned to the head coach,
team manager, or board president. WE AGREE TO THESE TERMS Signature
