Refund & Cancellations
Membership dues can be paid fully at registration or in 10 equal installments with the first installment due at registration followed by 9 monthly payments, normally from October 1st through June 1st.
The policy for payments will be as follows:
- Annual fees are due at registration or in 10 equal instalments. 10 being for ease of calculation not length of season
- If you select monthly instalment, the first instalment will be invoiced during registration. The SNB and SNC will also be added to the first invoice.
- A credit card is required for payment unless arrangements are made before registration with the Treasurer, Nena Melanson (email: treasurer@codiacvikings.ca).
- If a swimmer withdraws from the team before Jan 1, fees will be calculated pro-rated, with Sep, Oct, Nov and Dec representing 4/10 of the season. Swim NB and Swim Canada fees are non-refundable and will not be pro-rated.
- If a person requires more information in regards to their financial account they can email the Treasurer or speak to me directly.
Families can choose to participate in various fundraising opportunities offered by the club to build up funds in their fundraising account which, in turn, are applied against their account balance to help pay for membership fees, meet fees, etc. Please see the section on fundraising located further down on this page.
- Note that multi swimmer discounts are applied to the full membership dues before determining the actual direct payment amounts for a family.
Additional membership Dues Information
In the case of a swimmer leaving the club during the season fees will be charged as follows:
- If a swimmer leaves the club on or before December 31st the membership dues will be pro-rated based on 10 months; (September - June) and the swimmer's account will be charged for the months he/she was in the water.
- If a swimmer leaves the Club after December 31st all annual dues are due. If dues were paid by post-dated cheques these will be cashed as dated.
Swimmers who, at the discretion of the coaching staff, advance in training levels will have membership dues adjusted to the new training level for the remainder of the season.
Meet Fees
In addition to registration fees, swimmers pays meet fees for each meet they attend. At most meets fees range from $4.00 -$6.00 per event entered. However, at developmental meets there is sometimes a lump sum fee for the meet such as $20.00. Meet fees are paid to the host Club of the meet and are used for expenses directly related to the competition; (ie pool rental).
For each meet there is also a Coach’s fee paid by each swimmer. This is used to cover travel and accommodation expenses for the coaching staff as well as costs associated with training and special events. The Coach's fees can range from $20 - $25 / day depending on the location of the meet.
The Club is responsible to pay all fees in advance to the host Club. Therefore, all families are required to pay applicable fees prior to the date of the meet. The preferred method of payment is by credit card through your online account or by cheque to the team manager. Once a swimmer commits to attending a meet they must pay the fees regardless of attendance at the meet. This is due to the fact that entries are made well in advance and the Club is charged for all entries made. If a swimmer has overdue meet fees this swimmer will be withheld from competing at further meets until the account is current.
