By joining SMAC, you agree to the payment of monthly dues or the year pay option.

You also agree to paying the fees for your swimmer to participate in meets. For families that paid the year pay option, they will still be responsible for swim meet related fees that are billed monthly, which will be billed to the credit card on file.

Having a credit or debit card on file is required for membership. All accounts should utilize the AutoPay function of the team’s Commit Swimming website. Once your registration is approved, you will be responsible for making sure the AutoPay portion of your account is established.

Registration fee (Elite/Gold/Silver/Bronze): $40.00 - This fee covers the cost of a shirt, cap, mesh equipment bag, and administrative and processing fees. This fee is due along with your first payment. Make sure you have entered the correct shirt size during registration or during shirt orders. There are no refunds or exchanges for entering the incorrect size.

Registration fee (Stroke School): $30.00 - This fee covers a cap and shirt and administrative and processing fees. This fee is due along with your first payment. Make sure you have entered the correct shirt size during registration or during shirt orders. There are no refunds or exchanges for entering the incorrect size.

Rec Center Membership: The Waynesville Recreation Center also requires that all members of SMAC maintain a monthly membership with the Rec Center. This is to ensure that we are all covered under insurance in the case of emergencies at practice. All Rec Center Membership payments are due at the front desk.

USA Swimming Membership: All SMAC swimmers will be required to be members of USA Swimming, as they cover your swimmers for insurance purposes at practices and meets. The USA swimming memberships by group are as follows:

DO NOT REGISTER/RENEW WITH USA SWIMMING WITHOUT THIS YEAR’S USA SWIMMING REGISTRATION LINK

Elite/Gold/Silver/Athletes Age 13+: Premium Membership or Outreach Membership

Bronze/Stroke School: Flex Membership or Outreach Membership

Rates will not increase if your swimmer is promoted to the next group in the middle of the season. The group you initially signed up for will be the rate you pay as the year progresses.

All monthly installments are due on the 1st of each month. These fees are paid through our online payment system. This includes meet fees for athletes that have paid in full for the season. Account balances can be seen on your Commit Swimming account at any point. Outstanding balances will be charged to the payment method on file on the first of each month. If a swimmer participates one time during the month, dues are payable for the entire month.

Bulk payments are non-refundable. These payments include a discount on training fees for the calendar year. This amount does not include meet fees.

Other Fees: Items including, USA and NC Swimming meet fees, coaches travel, or other items are separate from monthly training fees. These expenses will be added to your account as they occur.

Accounts more than 30 days past due will be suspended. Swimmers of these accounts will not be allowed to practice or participate in any team related functions until the account is up to date.

Returning athletes must have $0 account balance before being accepted on the team for the new season.

Meet Fees- will be invoiced in each month they occur and will be charged with all other recurring charges. 

Accounts with outstanding balances may be prohibited from competition.

Multiple athlete discount: For families with multiple swimmers, there will be a scaled percentage family discount. This is noted at checkout on the registration page.

Parents that become USA Swimming officials will not have meet fees for SMAC hosted meets in which they officiate. SMAC needs officials in order to be able to host local competitions. To become a USA Swimming Official, parents must complete all requirements of the USA Swimming Officials Apprenticeship Program. SMAC will cover the cost of training once it is fully completed and you are certified as a USA Swimming official.
