FHS Fees for 2012

We are reviewing the fees for 2012, but we do not anticipate that they will change this year.

If you have multiple siblings we understand the cost of supporting them through their chosen activities can get quite daunting. FHS cannot reduce the membership fees - but we can help out with the monthly pool fees. The first and second swimmers are charged at full price, the third is half price and any subsequent siblings are free of charge.

Membership

The annual membership fees covers administration costs, insurance and swimmer registration with the ASA which runs January to December.

FHS have kept this fee as low as we can for as long as we can, but annual increases by the ASA have finally forced our hand and we had to increase our fees in 2011.

Because this fee is used to fund the ASA registration, it is important that this is paid before the end of February in order to allow your child to continue swimming.

Registations submitted after February will still be charged at full price and will still end of the year.  Your child will not be able to participate in galas until the registration has completed processing within the ASA.

Pool Fees

This fee is to cover the pool hire charges and is a running fee averaged over a year. We will temporarily waive these fees for special circumstances on a case by case basis - unfortunately, this does not include time away from training for holidays etc.

Staffing Fees

Please note, all of our staff work on a voluntary basis.
No coaches or administrative members take any finance from the club.

The club will however, pay for coaches passes to galas where we have swimmers participating and training courses required by the pool or ASA. Training courses are undertaken utilising the individuals own time and the costs of the courses is normally paid for by 75% grant (Mayoral Legacy Fund) and 25% FHS funds.

CPDs, which are now an ongoing requirement to maintain qualifications will be paid in full by FHS funds as long as the focus is directly beneficial to the club members.

Excess Funds

Any funding left over may be used to provide extra sessions available to all swimmers, provide end-of-year fun sessions, part-finance gala entries or maintain the current fees after price increases.
