·   Are we required to pay for home meets?
Yes, each member of the team will be charged approximately $10.00 per meet. This applies to all swimmers whether you are planning to attend or not. Dues are due by the day before the meet (see question 9 for specific info). Swimmers will not be allowed to participate if dues are not in o­n time. Please let Coach Weeks know if you will not swim so the relays can be planned accordingly. All swimmers are expected to participate in home meets.
