Participation in the squad system is considered to be an annual involvement, therefore the total fees have been averaged out to produce the monthly amount. The same monthly fee is payable for all 12 months of the year. Fees will be charged regardless of a swimmers attendance.

The only exceptions are prolonged absences of more than 4 weeks through injury, illness or family commitments. Please complete the Squad Fee Adjustment Form.

There are family discounts for squad swimmers – go to fees

HEALTH AND INJURY MANAGEMENT:

With the training load swimmers in this squad undertake, swimmers will be required to undergo physio screenings, hydration testing, Iron level checks, flu injections and health information sessions in order to assist with maintaining an injury free body.

CONTACT/COMMUNICATION:

It is important for the coach, swimmers and parents to be in contact communicating about the squad and swimmer goal as progress.  If there are any matters you wish to discuss about training or competition, please speak to your coach.  For invoicing matters, please contact Club Treasurer, Adrian White at tsctreasurer@traralgonswimming.org.au
