    Fees & Practice Times

    Summer 2024 Fees & Registration

    For the month of April, registration is $165, including all practices, dual swim meets, a silicone team swim cap with your swimmer's name on it and all CASL City Meet fees.  There is a family discount for each additional swimmer ($165, $150, $134, $91), with a family max of $540.  We will also be selling team t-shirts, extra swim caps, and apparel through the registration portal.

    For registrations after April 30, all fees increase by $10, there will be no further sales of team merchandise, and swim caps will not be personalized.

    Online Registration will open April 1!


    Equipment Needed

    In addition to goggles, your swimmer will need a kickboard for practices to fully participate in kick drills, etc. It is also highly recommended that each swimmer have fins. The coaches would like the newer swimmers to have long fins for safety so that they can easily make it across the pool as they begin getting tired throughout practice. The more experienced swimmers should have short fins for use in drills.  See our SwimOutlet store for equipment choices...

    No practice requirement for summer swim team
    All practices are optional, but coaches advise you attend at least four practices per week to see improvement in your swimming times.  We seek to build a great team atmosphere where the kids know one another, and the great swimmers can serve as an example to the new swimmers.  So we encourage all swimmers to come enjoy practices with the Tidal Waves.
