Dear BAC Swimming Families,
Thank you for your continued support as we continue to grow our program and help our swimmers achieve new levels of success. BAC has been able to keep the cost of our youth swimming program as one of the lowest in the area and has not had a fee increase in five years. As the Board recently reviewed the costs necessary to continue to support the development of our swimmers, it determined that a moderate fee increase was necessary beginning with the 2010 fall quarter. This decision was supported by a survey which showed that BAC fees were lower than all other comparable clubs in the Peninsula, in some cases by more than 50%.
The increased fees will enable us to set funds aside for specific improvements to our swimming program such as additional pool space and better coach/swimmer ratios. All funds collected by the Club through the increases will go directly back into the swim program for these future enhancements that we believe to be crucial for our continued competitive growth.
Effective at the start of this year’s fall quarter, August 16, all age group swimming dues will adhere to the following quarterly fee schedule:
· Pre-comp/Barracuda: $195
· Bronze: $240
· Silver: $310
· Gold: $360
· Senior: $385
A $20 late fee per invoice will also be effective at the start of the fall quarter. Note that we will continue to offer the same family discounts when multiple kids participate in our swimming program, as well as dual sport discounts for swimmers who also play water polo. These discounts are unique to BAC and we strongly believe they are right for our Club.
BAC is glad to keep the cost of program enrollment on the low side of the market and to offer such a high-quality swim experience. We look forward to having you and your family as members for years to come.
On behalf of BAC and the Board,
Suze Gardner Terry Horn
BAC Club Director BAC Board President |
