FEES
The Lakeland Hills Family YMCA is a membership association; therefore all LHY swimmers must have a current full privilege LHY membership. This must be established prior to the first day of practice. The cost of a Membership can be obtained from the front desk. All new members or those who have let their membership expire for more than 60 days are required to pay a joining fee. Information regarding membership benefits may be obtained from the front desk. Swimmers swimming without a membership will not be allowed to practice after September 15.

Team fees are established prior to the start of the season. These fees pay for pool time, coaches’ salaries, bus transportation, end of the year banquet, awards, supplies, equipment purchases and administrative expenses. Swim team fees are established for each practice group and are based on the amount of practice time. Parents will be informed of the practice group and fees at the beginning of the season. The coaches reserve the right to change a swimmer’s practice group as the season progresses. Adjustments with respect to fees will be made accordingly.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Team fees need to be paid on time or a $25 fine will be levied, unless special arrangements have been made in advance with the head coach.

ESCROW ACCOUNTS
Each swimmer will have an escrow account established through an initial deposit from his/her parent, made at the front desk. This account will be used to pay entry fees to invitational and championship meets and eliminates the need to have parents write multiple checks for these events. Should the balance of this account fall below $0.00, the swimmer will not be allowed to participate in the meets until the account is brought up to date. Account summaries will be made available throughout the season. An initial $50.00 deposit is recommended for 9/over. A deposit of $25.00 is recommended for 8/unders.

SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION
Scholarships for fees are available. Individuals requesting scholarship information or special payment schedules should contact the Head Coach. Please do this early in August/September to avoid any problems. All special payment plans must be requested in writing by September 15.
