With many championship meets scheduled as we approach the last two months of swim season, it's important to review our policy(and New England Swimming's rules) about Meet Fees. This information is summarized in the About Our Swim Meets page of this website.

Most importantly:
Once your swimmer has been committed to attend a swim meet, you are responsible for their meet fees. There are no refunds of meet fees if your swimmer is unable to attend the meet. This may seem unfair, however, you must think of it like an airline or concert ticket. If every customer were given the flexibility of not attending and getting a refund, these organizations would go out of business. Considerable logistics and resources are involved with running a swim meet. They are organized by volunteers and run on a tight budget. There's no profit. Thus, no meet fee refunds. UVAC meets afford us a little bit of flexibility. Usually, we can withdraw a few athletes a couple of weeks before the event. Importantly, there are some additional considerations being made due to changing COVID policies.
