Pricing

Additional Pricing Information:

• Facility/Activity Fee: All families will be responsible for a yearly non-refundable Facility Fee of $100. This fee goes towards our pool fees, any equipment necessary for the team and insurance requirements.
• Adding on Diving: If your child is interested in both swimming and diving, you would pay the full price for swimming. For the pricing of diving, you would pay a one-time fee of $100 for beginner and $125 for advanced in addition to your swimming fees for each diver. This is done to offset the price of both swimming coaches and a separate diving coach.
