Monthly Payments: Please hand your monthly fees to the treasurer the first practice of each month. Alternatively you can send your check to: Jeri Hollander, AquaStarz treasurer. Do not hand the payment to the coach, a swimmer or anyone other than the treasurer.

USA Synchro Membership Fees: All swimmers must be current members of our national organization, USA Synchro. Full-year membership for swimmers is $45 (October 1 to September 30). Adult booster membership for parents is $30 and recommended but not required. Only adults holding USA synchro memberships are allowed on-deck due to the requirements of our liability insurance. All USA Synchro members qualify for sports injury insurance if the injury occurs during a supervised practice or competition, and also receive a subscription to the online USA Synchro magazine. Additional detailed information regarding membership and insurance benefits is available on the USA Synchro website www.usasynchro.org.

Reimbursements: If you purchase something for the team that has been approved by the board you need to fill out a reimbursement form (go to forms area on this website or you will find one located in black box at the pool). Mail the form with receipts to Aquastarz Treasurer.

Fundraising: We like to look at our fundraisers as an opportunity for the team to bond and feel part of its financial success. Our AquaStarz families have been great support in the past. Our main fundraisers this year will be our annual show with refreshments and raffle. We also have a very simple and easy way to raise money for AquaStarz. Save your drink pouches of any type of drink (Caprisun, Honest Kids, etc.). Every pouch we save brings in 1 or 2 cents depending on the brand. For more information contact Cyndi Hughes.

Additional Costs: Any swimsuit can be worn at practices but each swimmer will need to have a plain black tank swimsuit (any brand) for competition and for the show. Goggles and nose plugs (available for purchase at the pool for $3 each) are also needed for both practices and meets. A plain white swim cap is also required for participation at meets. Routine costumes and headpieces also need to be purchased and/or made for each routine your swimmer will be in. Costume costs vary widely from about $30 to as much as $80.
