Swim fees - an alternative

Hi all

Your committee has been looking for ways to make it easier for our members to pay their swim so we don't have so many forget. You now have two ways of paying: the existing 10-swim cards or by monthly direct credit to our bank account.

Monthly Payment Option

  • Monthly payment: $26 (= $312 annually.)
  • Direct credit to South City Masters on the 1st of every month, starting November.
  • The amount has been calculated to cover our pool hire costs with the average attendance we get at training. (Most swim a bit more than twice a week, so those who regularly swim more will pay less than the current $3 per swim.)
  • Payments continue over breaks from swimming, e.g. holidays & sickness. Think of it as an annual fee, paid monthly.
  • Choose this option by starting your monthly payments – we’ll see your payment in our account.

10-swim Card Option

  • Direct credit $30 per card to South City Masters.
  • Ask a committee member for a card(s).
  • Every time you swim, mark one swim off your card.

Other Details

  • Race nights will now require a swim fee. It’s too hard to account for when some are paying monthly. We still hire the pool and provide either programmes or organise relays.

Our bank account details are:
Acc Name: South City Master Swimmers
Acc Num: 12-3089-0087168-00
Reference: “Monthly” (for the monthly fee), or “Card” for 10-swim cards.

Background
Currently we pay our swim fees by purchasing a 10-swim card and marking off one swim each time you swim. However, we are finding that the number of cards sold falls well short of the number of swimmers at training. Clearly our memories are not as good as we had hoped.
We recognise that one of the conveniences we offer is that you need only pay for the swimming you do. For that reason the existing system of 10-swim cards will still work for those not choosing the monthly payment system.

Please talk to any of the committee if you have questions.

Best regards

Tony Shacklock
