For people's information here is a breakdown of squad fees for each term.
What is a Term? Squad fees are for training during a school term. To calculate a school term we use an average of 11 weeks. This allows for credit amounts to stay consistent and fees to be clearer.
Training during School Holidays? Training is run at times through the school holidays. This training is not always consistently run. Rather then have an additional fee for this training we make training free for those that do it during this time, so long as they are current or upcoming (In Term 1) members of Mountain Swim.
Holiday Training Continued. This gives a rough guide to the free holiday training we might offer: January Typically there is training between Xmas and New Years for Senior Squads (Silver/Performance) Junior squads have some training options from Week 2 of January. April We usually have a totla squad break for the april holidays. Some swimmers with school events usually request programs to keep up their training during one or two weeks. July There is uaully sessions running for both weeks of the school holidays for Senior squads. For Junior squads there is usually some combined sessions running. October In these holidays we usually provide programs for the 1st week and run coached sessions for the second week.
Fees are broken down into two categories: Registration and training fees. There is a flat term registration fee for each squad which covers all additional running of the squads other then pool deck sessions. Things such as insurance fees, carnivals etc are sumplemented from this registratiuon fee. Pool deck sessions covers the weekly sessions that swimmers attend for training and can be credited when swimmers are away for a full week or more.
