Costs:
The cost per term is $130, the swimmer can attend any session and as many sessions as they like (see below session timetable). It is preferable to attend at least 3 per week if possible. Speak with the coach further to develop a plan that fits with the swimmer.
There is a SNZ/Swim Otago annual fee of either $39 for a club swimmer (club members can compete at Otago Regional Championship level and below, including School Championship) or $77.50 for a competitive swimmer (competitive members can compete at all competition levels). This needs to be paid before the swimmer can attend Swim NZ/ Swim Otago sanctioned swim meets (each meet flyer will state the entry requirements).
Upon completing the Swimmers Information below you will be sent details for the swimmers Fast Lane, this is how you enter meets.
Invoices will be emailed each term and the affiliation fee is annual unless you come in after the annual rollover date and will need to be covered then. If you have any issues with payment or need to change your contact details, please contact the Treasurer directly.
