MNS Financial Policy

September Fees are paid on the first day of practice, 9/13/25. EXACT CASH or CHECK to “MNS”
Fees may be paid monthly, or for the entire season. Most families pay monthly.
Registered families are responsible to pay for the full year (Sept-May or Sept-July) of fees.
Payments are spread out across 9 or 11 months. This means you may have a payment dues in a month you don't swim in.
Your monthly payment is due by the 10th of each month. A late fee of $25 may be added to any installments not paid by the due date.
If a bill is unpaid the bookkeeper will email a reminder invoice, it is the family’s responsibility to contact the Administrator and Bookkeeper. Swimmers may be unable to attend practice and/or meets if bills are not paid in a timely manner.
Commitment Fees are paid in September for Nationally Competitive Teams. If commitments are fulfilled, the swimmer competes through the Junior Olympics, then the fee paid in September will be deducted from the last payment (July) of the season. (Nationally Competitive Teams)
For the benefit of their teams, swimmers are encouraged to attend all scheduled practices for their team. No credit will be given for missed practices.
We make every attempt to maintain our schedules, but severe weather, or unforeseen facility closures sometimes cause cancellation. We do not issue fee credits if weather or closures interrupt our schedule.
We do not issue fee credits for missed practices due to illness or vacation.
