Team Handbook & Policies
Annual Operations
Velocity Swimming operates on a 12-month membership cycle that begins each September. Families typically register and sign their annual membership contract in August to prepare for the upcoming season.
To make the program more accessible, the total annual training dues are divided into 11 equal monthly installments billed from September through July. No training dues are billed in August, providing a financial break for families while the team transitions between seasons.
