Membership Information

Registration

2010 Registration is on-line. Select Start Registartion tab on the left side-bar.

You will complete several documents during registration, all of which are required in order for your child to swim on the team. If any of the information changes during the season, please inform the Head Coach so we can revise our records. Registration documents include: Hurricane Registration Form;  medical insurance and emergency contact information is required.  As well as, location; whether your residence resides inside the North Austin Muncipal Utility District #1 or outside NA MUD #1, such as Springwods MUD or Anderson Mill MUD.  Other forms that must be electronically signed are Release of Liability, Northwest Swim Circuit Code of Conduct and an acknowledgement of Volunteer responsiblity.  AAU Swimmers insurance will be applied for from the registration information.

Fees

Registration fees are $139.00 per swimmer. These fees are the primary source of team revenue and covers coaches’ salaries, AAU Swim insurance, ribbons and awards, age-group photograph, individual trophy, team equipment, and administrative expenses (Board members are volunteers). Those swimmers who live out-of-district (North Austin MUD#1) will be assessed an additional $5 fee per swimmer.

 

If a swimmer cannot legally swim one length of the pool (25 meters) in Freestyle, Backstroke, Breaststroke, or Butterfly, by the 10th practice day, which begins from the first practice, as assessed by the Head Coach, then that swimmer will be cut from the team. The Hurricane Swim Team is a recreational competitive swim team, not a swim lesson program. The Treasurer will only refund $25 of the registration fees after documentation of the swimmer’s inability to meet this requirement is received with the signature of the Head Coach. Please consider your child’s swimming ability when deciding to join the swim team.

Fee Reduction Policy

Fee reductions will only be considered for medical reasons and will require a medical practioner’s note. Fee reductions will only be considered up to the half way point of the season and will not total more than half of the total fees paid, less the out-of-district fee, volunteer fee (unless all volunteer activities are completed), fund raising fee and AAU Insurance fees. A breakdown of the fees will be provided upon request. Fee reductions are at the discretion of the Hurricane Swim Board. Decisions by the board are final and may not be contested. Acceptance of this policy is inferred by payment of the swim team fees and signature of the registration form.
