Dues Deadline Tomorrow; Member Dependents and Guest Passes; Swim Team Registration, Coaches, and Sponsorship Information; Future Events
Dues Deadline March 2nd
Dues must be postmarked by tomorrow Monday March 2 to avoid a $100 late fee. The forms sent out say that any dues received after a postmark date of March 15 will be considered lapsed; however, postmarks by Monday March 16 will be accepted. Dues not received with postmark of March 16 will be offered to wait list applicants.
Member Dependents
We get several requests each year to list visiting cousins, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, grandparents, and even whole other families. Often these are extended visits. With 500 memberships, the pool simply can¹t allow all these visitors free entry. The membership is defined as two (2) parents and their dependent children under age 25(*). So cousins, nieces, nephews, grandchildren etc., are considered guests and you will need to pay guest fees but the pool does make this fee very reasonable. Guest fees are $3 a day for weekdays, and $5 a day for weekends. However, you can buy a guest coupon booklet for $15. You get 5 passes, and can use the coupon any day (weekends included) so that works out to be $3 per visit.
(*) The term dependent means a child and/or parent of a member over half of whose support, the calendar year before the pool season, was received from the member.
