The Registration Fees cover administrative cost. Included benefits are:
Ø FA team T-shirt for each swimmer
Ø FA team swim cap for each swimmer

The Frisco Aquatics Swim Team is operated through the efforts of volunteers. There will be many team activities where the families will be expected to participate. The program will continue to be successful only if all families are involved in the team sponsored events and contribute to these and participation commitments.
Frisco Aquatics uses On-Line Auto pay Registration, monthly, and all other billable Team Fees.
Escrow is Required for non auto pay accounts:
Frisco Aquatics offers a secure online electronic payment processing system (Auto Pay) that allows your credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover), debit card or bank account to be automatically charged or drafted on the 1st of every month for any dues, fees or expenses you have incurred since the previous billing period. In the event you elect not to sign up for Auto Pay you will be required to keep a negative balance (a/k/a escrow balance). Failure to maintain a negative balance of at least $50 for 14 consecutive days will result in suspension of your swimmer(s) and he/she will not be allowed to sign up for meets or attend practice. If your child does not normally attend meets and you do not sign up for Auto Pay, your child will not be allowed to practice without a negative balance of at least $50. It is your responsibility to review the status of your account to ensure there are sufficient funds available for any upcoming meets as most meets cost about $35 to enter. It is suggested that younger swimmers have a credit balance of $100 and more active swimmers have a credit balance of $150 to pay for upcoming meets.
Monthly / Quarterly dues are to be paid no later than the 10th of each month / quarterly billing cycle.
All meet fees must be paid when invoiced to remain in meet.
If a swimmer elects to take time off, thirty (30) days written notice is required. There will be a $20.00 start up fee assessed to cover the deleting and adding of the swimmer’ record.
Additional Fees:
Ø $25.00 fee for any returned check to include:
· Dues payment
· Meet payment
Ø $10.00 fee for dues late payment (monthly or quarterly payment invoices as applicable)
· All payments received after the 20th of the month are subject to the late payment fee.
· Payments must be “in-hand” by the 20th. Frisco Aquatics will not waive the late payment fee based upon incorrect emails or not receiving invoice.
You are contractually obligated to pay all financial commitments as disclosed. If it is found necessary to file for collection, the swimmer(s) will not be allowed to participate in any USA swimming meets with any team until resolved. Any fees incurred with collection will be the responsibility of the parent.
