Terms/Conditions
The first practice is a trial to see if it is a good match on both sides. Waitlist to enrollment is not FIFO. If lane X has room, pace X wait-listers will be enrolled first.
Participants must be willing to circle swim.
No drop-in policy. The only way to participate is to pay the up front fee and then come as often as you want. We do not offer an option under which you would pay per practice attended. The only exception is one member who is a seasonal resident (their primary residence is more than 50 miles away). Everyone pays an upfront fee. After that, there are no substitutions or refunds.
We are operating this as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) and aiming to eventually be break-even and self-sustaining. Contributions are welcome, and we can provide you with our nonprofit info.
We do not allow members of the public to drop in on a practice, but you can certainly bring a friend to practice. They just have to be over 18 and sign this form.
We reserve the right to terminate anyone’s membership. It is essential that swimmers be kind and courteous to other swimmers.
We lease pools and are otherwise unaffiliated with the owners.
We are unaffiliated with U.S. Masters Swimming (USMS). We don’t participate in any of their programs or events. You can join them and participate in their events. It will not affect your status with us in any way.
We will periodically update these terms and conditions without notice.
