FREQUENTY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why does Brazadas Swim Club use a membership structure?
This approach lowers the barrier to entry and increases accessibility for our community by removing annual fees, providing flexible training options, and creating clearer development pathways.
When does the new membership structure begin?
The new membership structure and billing begins April 1, 2026.
I already paid the annual registration for the 2026 season. What happens now?
All current swim team members will move into the new structure on April 1, 2026.
Current swim team members will pay a one-time $100 transition fee in April. In previous seasons, families paid an annual registration fee. This transition fee allows the team to fairly shift into a model with no annual registration going forward while aligning all members under the new structure and not paying the $150 join fee.
This transition package includes:
- 2 new team suits
- 2 new team caps
- 2 new team t-shirts
- 1 private training session
Value: approximately $210
Current Masters swimmers did not previously pay a joiners fee and will NOT pay the $100 transition fee. However, if a Masters swimmer would like the full welcome package and private training session, they may opt to pay the $150 one-time join fee.
Do I need to re-register in April if we are already enrolled?
We are currently working with Captyn to determine the smoothest transition process. Our goal is to make this as seamless as possible for you. We will share an update when it becomes available.
Is membership month-to-month? When can I cancel?
Yes. Membership is month-to-month.
We require 30 days written notice to cancel. Dues are prorated when joining mid-
month and prorated during cancellation periods as applicable. There is no option to pause membership.
Can my swimmer compete with only the base membership?
Yes. Swimmers may compete in meets with only the base membership. Division add-ons increase practice frequency and include additional benefits but are not required for competition.
Are division add-ons required year-round?
No. Add-ons may be adjusted based on your swimmer’s goals and availability. A $50 administrative fee is applied when removing an add-on.
What division will my swimmer be in?
Coaches will assign swimmers based on age, ability, and development.
Current transitions:
- Bronze & Silver → White Division
- Gold & Senior Prep → Navy Division
- B-Team → B-Team Division
Masters is for adults who are 18 and over and out of high school. High school swimmers, including those 18 years old, will remain in B-Team if appropriate.
What can I do if I don’t agree with my swimmer’s division placement?
Our coaching staff are the professionals responsible for swimmer development and progression. Division placement is coach-directed based on readiness, development, and long-term growth. We are always open to respectful conversations about goals and progression. Please reach out to your athlet's coach with concerns.
Who can participate in Masters?
Masters is for adults 18 years and older who are out of high school.
Are we affiliated with U.S. Masters Swimming?
We are currently working to establish an official B-Town Brazadas U.S. Masters affiliated team. We will share information as it becomes available.
What if I only want lap swim?
You may join under the base membership and join lap swim anytime it is offered. You may also attend up to two Masters coached workouts per week under base membership. If you want additional Masters workouts, you may choose the Masters add-on.
I am a college swimmer returning home for the summer. What are my options?
We will offer a summer-only option for returning college swimmers. This will be a flat $200 summer training fee with no joiner fee and no welcome package included. This option is designed specifically for short-term summer training.
Is USA Swimming registration included?
No. USA Swimming annual registration remains separate. All swimmers age 18 and under participating in a competitive swim team must maintain an active registration.
How do meet fees work?
Intra-squad meets are free for members and run as USA Swimming Block Parties. These meets count for official times. Hosted home meets require a flat meet fee unless you have a performance add-on(championship meets excluded). All away meets are a flat meet fee beginning in April 2026. Fees will be published in each meet fact sheet.
How does Swim League fit into membership?
Swim League is a summer program. It may be added as a member add-on, or non-members may join Swim League at non-member pricing.
Is private training available for team athletes?
Yes. Private training remains available. We will be updating pricing to reflect member discounts and will offer various private training packages soon.
Is there a family discount for division add-ons?
No. The family rate applies only to base membership. Division add-ons are per swimmer.
What are my fees if I join mid-season?
Dues are prorated when joining at any time during the month. The joiner fee remains the same.
How do I get a new team suit or team t-shirt after I join?
Team suits and shirts are included at the time of joining and with division add-ons but are not reissued annually. You may purchase items individually or purchase a bundle package. Details will be shared when they become available.
What happens if I end my membership and rejoin in the future?
A $150 rejoin fee applies. A new welcome package is not included upon rejoining.
How do I add more people to my membership?
When you add another person to your membership, you are automatically upgraded to a family membership. You may add up to two adults and four children to a family membership for $115 total.
