Waiver 1 – Registration Contract (Required)

Obligation to Pay Fees

The certainty of payment of fees to the Calgary Patriots Swim Club (the “Club”) by the Members of the Club is essential for budgeting purposes and for maintaining operations and financial stability of the Club. Squad fees for all Members are set under the assumption that all fees will be paid by the Members as assessed at registration. Agreeing to the registration contract holds Members to the obligation of paying squad fees. If Members withdraw from the Club during the swim season for any reason (including, but not limited to, injury that prevents swimming, family moves to another city, swimmer transfers to another club) without providing proper notice to the Club in accordance with the “Withdrawal Dates” prescribed in this registration contract below, no refund of fees will be offered or payable by the Club. All remaining credit card payments remain payable to the Club through this legally binding contract, should proper notice not be given to the Club.

Failure to Keep Account Current
In accordance with the Club’s “Accounts Receivable Collections Policy”, failure to keep your account current may result in suspension of Patriots swim activities, including participation in competition meets. Current is defined as an account that is not outstanding for more than 60 days. If non-payment is recurring or accounts remain outstanding despite collection efforts by the Club, the Club’s Board of Directors reserves the right to have the Member withdrawn from the Club.
 
Withdrawal Dates
Obligation of a Member to pay fees will be waived if written notice of intent to withdraw is received by the Club on or before September 30th, 2026. In this case, fees will still be due for the month of September and the Registration fee will not be refunded.
Obligation of a Member to pay “Long Course” fees will be waived if written notice of intent to withdraw is received by the Club on or before December 31st, 2026. In this case, fees will still be due for September to December, inclusive.
For clarity, if notice to withdraw is received on or after January 1st, 2027, fees will still be due for January to June, inclusive.
 
Officials and Volunteer Obligations
Club-hosted swim meets are essential to the Calgary Patriots Swim Club's ability to provide quality competitive opportunities for athletes and generate revenue that helps keep registration fees affordable. As a condition of registration, each family is required to support these meets through officiating and/or volunteer service.
Each family must commit to a minimum of nine (9) volunteer shifts during the season, including a minimum of three (3) shifts at Pugsley's Plunge, a minimum of two (2) shifts at Chinook Invitational, and the remaining four (4) additional shifts at any club-hosted meets including Team Champs and Summer Splash. These obligations apply on a per-family basis, regardless of the number of swimmers registered.
In addition, at least one family member is expected to attend a recognized officials' training clinic and complete the required evaluations during the season to support the Club's officiating program and maintain compliance with Swimming Canada standards.
A $200 fine will be applied for each uncommitted or unfulfilled shift. Families who are unable to attend a scheduled shift are responsible for arranging a qualified replacement. Failure to meet volunteer commitments, officiating requirements, or outstanding financial obligations may affect eligibility for future meet participation or Club registration.
By completing registration, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to comply with the Calgary Patriots Swim Club Officials Policy.
