  • WITHDRAWAL

    30 DAYS NOTICE – You can request to cancel your team membership through your parent account. 30 days advance notice is required so that all financial obligations can be completed and any adjustments to team lane rental and assignments can be made. At this time, the swimmer's account must be paid in full.. There are no prorated refunds if you cancel in the middle of the month. 


    We do not have suspensions or "pauses," but there are no restrictions against leaving and rejoining at a later time. Be aware, a fee will be charged for re-activation when returning.

  • MEET FEES

    Once the meet sign up deadline has passed, DCS will send an initial roster email to swimmers who have signed up to compete. You are responsible for reviewing these documents and making corrections via email to admin@swimdcs.com. DCS is obligated to send payment to the host team for swimmers on the final roster prior to the event. Meet fees must be paid regardless of your swimmer's attendance at the meet. NO EXCEPTIONS will be made for any reason.

  • OTHER TEAM ASSOCIATED FEES

    Fees including but not limited to team events, travel, team gear, DCS Clinics, etc. will be posted on your monthly invoice if applicable. These fees must be paid by the due date as specified. Once the stated sign-up deadline has passed, a confirmation email will be sent. You are responsible for reviewing this communication and making corrections via email to admin@swimdcs.com by the specified date. After this date, DCS will order/reserve your other team associated fees/purchases, and you will be responsible for payment.

  • MISSED PRACTICES & HOLIDAYS

    Monthly tuition will not be pro-rated for absences or vacations.  Tuition will not be refunded for missed practices, unless due to a physical injury lasting two weeks or more, in which a physician’s note must be provided. DCS is a year round team, and tuition is not pro-rated during holidays or for canceled practice sessions.

  • OVERDUE ACCOUNT CONSEQUENCES
