MEDIA PERMISSIONS – Group photographs may be posted without identifying swimmers. I/We give permission to post individual photographs of our children or ourselves on the club web site, bulletin boards, newsletters and related publications, and to include names & achievements in team stories.

PRIVACY – PCS is required to submit information such as swimmer names, birth dates and contact information to SwimmingNatation Canada (SNC) and Swim BC, the National and Provincial governing bodies, for registration & insurance. We are also required to submit swimmer names and associated competition and achievement level to Saanich Commonwealth Place to complete pool allocation schedules. In addition, please be aware that competitive swimming takes place in a public forum. Competition results, including swimmers’ names, will be posted at swim meet locations, on our web site, and at the SNC Meets site

LATE PAYMENTS – I/We agree to have our credit card charged the balance due for any payments that are over 90 days late. Accounts overdue from the previous season must be settled before registration for the 2019-2020 season can be initiated.

GROUP FEES - Group fees are paid per month by post-dated cheques or credit card form submitted for October through June; we require payment of the September (half-month fees) and July amounts dated at the time of registration. The most senior swimmer in your family pays 100% of the applicable Monthly Training Fees; additional swimmers pay 80% of applicable group fees.
When your swimmer moves through the groups, monthly fees will change. You will not be required to submit additional cheques but the additional amount will be added to your monthly bill. Swim meet entries, team travel, accommodation and equipment costs, and the like, are additional to group fees, and will be billed to your account as they occur. 
We require one months notice should you decide to withdraw from swimming - these are your July fees, paid in the September cheque. Please notify us by June 1st if you intend to swim through June but not July - your account will be credited one month's fees.
