Please note: The monthly payment plan is to make it easier on families to make the payments for the program.  This is not a fee for service.  There are holidays through the season and practices that are canceled due to competitions. Payment is not stopped for vacation.  The money owing is for the year.  If your swimmer decides that swimming is not their sport, then one month notice must be given prior to stopping payment.
