Our payment methods encourage a “pay as you go” policy for your swimmer’s meet entry fees. Credit cards and escrow account handling are far too time-consuming for effective administration and reconciliation. There is also often a long lag time between meet entries and receipt of checks, credit card payments, and escrow deductions.

Meet entry fees must be made at the time of meet entry by either:

• Setting up a personal account with Paypal online processing and doing meet entries online. At the end of online meet signup, you will directly access Paypal and process payment to Club Wolverine Swimming. Paypal is secure, it gives you full control over your method of payment (credit card, bank account, etc.) and account status. Importantly, with Paypal processing, it is not necessary for the club to store sensitive financial information for our families in either hardcopy or electronic form.

• Writing a check to "Club Wolverine Swimming, Inc.," completing a manual (paper-based) meet entry, and submitting the entry and attached check to the Treasurer in time to meet the entry deadline. Entries without payment are not allowed.

Strictly maintaining the above meet entry payment policy ensures the financial health of the club and reduces administrative costs for reconciliation and collection.

Membership Obligations

The swimmer registration packet includes codes of conduct that apply to both parents and swimmers. Please read them carefully.

In addition, by registering with Club Wolverine Swimming, you agree to fulfill minimum expectations for every family’s service to the club by working at important host swim meets and other designated activities. These host meets are significant fundraising opportunities for the club; money raised helps to reduce fees for every swimmer.
