Quarterly payments can be selected as a payment option. This option will commence on the 1st November each year and will paid on the first day of the following months for the quarter in advance; November, February, May, August.
Members will have 14 days as from the 1st of each month to pay the quarterly fee.
The payment will be $135 per member each quarter.
Members electing to pay quarterly must commit to a full 12 months of quarterly payments and cannot move from quarterly to monthly payments at any time during the year.

Annual Fee Payment Option
An Annual fee payment may be selected as an option for payment.  This option will commence on the 1st November each year and will be paid on the 1st November for the next full year in advance.
The full fee payment for 12 months is $500 per member per year.
Members will have 14 days as from the 1st November to pay the annual fee.

Sessional Fee Payment Option
From the 1st July a casual swim will cost $7.00 a swim. Pat will record which swimmers are attending which sessions and then you will be sent an account at the end of each month for the total number of times you swam that month. If the number of times you have swum totals more than 5 for the winter months you will be charged the monthly fee of $40.00. Once you have received your acct you will be able to pat directly into the Onkas bank acct as normal.
If you feel this option best suits your situation at the present time could you please let myself (president@onkaswimclub.com.au) or Ann-Marie Quinn(treasurer@onkaswimclub.com.au) know so that we have an idea who will be selecting this option.
The committee are going to run this as a 3 month trial to assess how this affects attendance at training. You are welcome to swim at any session, however if we find that some sessions are becoming too busy we may need to allocate sessions that casual swimmers may attend. We hope this will not happen but the Army pool contract only allows us a certain number of swimmers in the pool at any one time, therefore it may become necessary to restrict some sessions if they are becoming too busy.

Refunds of Training Fees
There will be no refunds of training fees unless there are exceptional circumstances.  Exceptional circumstances will be reviewed by the Executive of the Club Management Committee in consultation with the Coach/s.

New members joining prior to November
If new members join the Club prior to November 1st of any year then they will be required to pay the monthly flat fee until November 1st and then can elect their preferred payment option to take effect as from 1st November.

Existing members returning to training following a break
At this stage, swimmers returning following a break will be required to pay the monthly fee as from the 1st day of the month. 

Hardship
Cases of financial hardship will be reviewed by the Executive of the Club Management Committee. Cases of hardship can be put forward to any member of the Club Management Committee or a Coach and they will be forwarded to the Executive. Reviews of hardship will be managed with the utmost discretion and sensitivity.

Non Payment
Members (or their responsible adult) who do not pay training fees within the listed time frames will be given one warning by a member of the Executive of the Club Management Committee.  If payment is not made within 7 days of the warning then the member will be requested not to attend training until payment is made.
