WHO CAN BE A PART OF THE TEAM?

The swim team is for any potential swimmer between the ages of 4 - 18. The team has a variety of programs and groups to meet the needs of all ability levels. If it is determined that the athlete is "water-safe," confident in the water, and is able to move them self across the pool, then they are ready for the team. Swimmers do not need to know the mechanics of the strokes, these skills will be taught to them.

HOW DO I START?

All initial registration takes place on the pool deck during practice hours. If you want to try-out or just want more information, please e-mail Coach Devon to set up a time. Families may "drop in" between 5:15 - 6:30 PM on any day, Monday - Thursday. However, new families may want to check out the current practice calendar on the "Calendar" page of the website to ensure we have practice.

On your first day, swimmers should bring goggles and be prepaired to get in and practice. Families should bring the Enrollment Forms (located on the home page of this website) and two checks. One check will be for the SCS registration fee ($60) and the other check will be for the STOP dues.

HOW LONG DO I GET TO DECIDE?

When an athlete starts, we will collect all the fees and dues that are required for that quarter. However, once you start, you have a week to decide if you would like to continue. If so, we then will process your payments. If after a week you decide that the swim team is not for you, you will receive a full refund of your payments.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

STOP is a non-profit organization. We rely on dues to cover the team's expenses and to maintain our commitment to a high quality, successful program. Although, payments are invoiced on a quarterly basis, families have the option to pay month to month. Monthly dues are not-prorated by weeks. Swimmers who participate one day in the month are expected to pay for the entire month.

DUES

Full Time: Swimmers may attend as many of the scheduled practices as they wish. Dues may be paid monthly as follows:

1st Swimmer $115 a month

2nd Swimmer $85 a month

All additional swimmers are $55 a month.

Part-Time Rate (Only offered in the Fall & Winter Quarters Only)

Under this program, each swimmer pays $225 for the quarter (Sept - Nov) or (Dec - Feb) for the opportunity to attend 2 days a week.

The two days are completely flexible to your schedule and may change from week to week.

Private Lessons pay $50 per hour.
