If the listed registration fees present a financial difficulty, Collegiate Aquatics coaches have the discretion to provide scholarships. Parents are welcome to speak with Erich or Kurt to discuss this opportunity. Please do not be afraid to ask! It is a program goal for ALL swimmers to be afforded the opportunity to compete on a winter team, enjoy their role as a TEAM member on Collegiate, and experience a sense of achievement. Finances should not be a barrier. All inquiries will be handled confidentially.
USA Swimming Membership (optional):
USA membership and meet attendance is optional but strongly encouraged. For more information about the program, click HERE.

Family Fundraising Fee:
Assessment per family with one child: $275
Assessment per family with two children: $325
Assessment per family with three children: $350
Families who register only novice swimmers (one or more) should subtract $75 from the family's total fundraising assessment.
Collegiate Aquatics depends on fundraising dollars to meet its annual operating budget as program fees do not fully fund expenses. Each family has the option of participating in the fundraising activities scheduled throughout the season or simply paying a fundraising buyout option (this buyout can be paid in full or monthly during the monthly program fee payment option). Fundraising will be assessed per family. Fundraising profits a family accumulates from all fundraisers throughout the season are credited toward the fundraising fee. Any unmet portion of the fundraising fee will be applied to any future Collegiate clinic or program fee.
