To ensure the safety of all our swimmers, we require that parents participate in locker room monitoring and supervision as well as the many positions needed to run a program like this one.
This program is a Volunteer Program and CANNOT survive without the help of volunteer parents.
Fees: St. Sebastian Swim Team runs from September to early May (that’s 9 months!) Fees for the 2023 – 2024
Season are $400.00. per child. Bathing Suit and equipment fees are not known at this time, but plan approximately $75 to $100 per child. We will hold a swim team fundraiser and expect participation from our families -approximately $150 per swimmer. We will do our best to see that children are not turned away from the program due to financial constraints.
We look forward to seeing you in the pool!
For an 8 year old girl, can she try out for the swim team? If yes, where and when?
Thank you.
