AGAC Fall 2026
Fall Season Overview
The Fall club season is the start of the short course season. During the Fall, we will place a large emphasis on stroke technique and building a strong aerobic base as this is the biggest block of training we have all year! This will allow us to set the foundation for strong end-of-season performances and to prepare our high school athletes for success in the spring HS swim season.

2026-27 Volunteer Program Fee
All families will be charged the $100 Annual Volunteer Program Fee on 9/1/26 (or upon joining if after 9/1).
This fee is charged annually once per family (not per athlete).
This will appear as a separate charge from the club registration.
The Volunteer Program allows parents to earn credits on their account for volunteering at swim meets (timing, home meet jobs, etc.).

Swim Meet Billing
Swim Meet Billing
Swim Meets and Senior travel trips are separate from the club membership and billed automatically on a per-meet basis once the team commitment deadline for each meet passes. Meet entry fees are calculated based on the athlete surcharge & event fee imposed by the host team.
For planning purposes, local/age-group meet entries typically cost approximately $45-50 for the first day (and $20-25 for each additional day) which accounts for athlete surcharges, event fees & coaching fees. Senior team travel meets typically range from $125-150/day to cover van rental, transportation expenses, hotel and all meet entries & fees. Athletes are responsible for food expenses on all team trips.
All athletes in the Development - Senior training groups are expected to compete in all local meets that their group is invited to and will be entered into these meets by default. If the athlete has a conflict and is unable to attend a meet, their parent must decline/de-commit them from the meet in their Commit Parent Portal prior to the meet deadline.
Any out-of-town swim meet that involves team or family travel (outside of the SCS/Coastal Committee) requires parents to commit their athlete to the meet. This generally applies to end-of-season championship meets and/or Senior travel invitationals.
