Dues and Fees
The National Federation of High School Swimming and Diving governs high school swimming. It is organized and operated by individual booster clubs. The Gwinnett County Swim & Dive Booster Club does all of the scheduling, pool reservations, hiring of officials, and data management for all teams in Gwinnett County. Our Norcross boosters support our team by supplying volunteers at meets, distributing uniforms and spirit wear, providing athletes with team caps and tee shirts, and generally supporting the team and coaches with anything they need. In order to provide this support, our club collects a $375 registration fee plus a $200 volunteer deposit. The breakdown of fees is as follows:
- $135 – goes to Gwinnett County Booster Club to pay for the use of competition pools, practice pools, lane lines, paid officials, computers, and software used at meets.
- $240 – goes to our Norcross High School Booster Club to pay for a third coach, scholarships, supplies, stopwatches, team tee shirts and caps for all swimmers and divers, senior gifts, banquet facilities, team socials, championship meet meals, and tee shirts and caps for county qualifiers.
- $200 volunteer deposit – this is collected as a separate check or credit card hold so the checks can be shredded and the credit card hold can be released upon completion of the parent volunteer requirement. The check will only be deposited or the credit card will only be charged if the volunteer requirement is not met by the end of the season. The volunteer requirement for families with one swimmer is to fulfill shifts totaling 8pts. For families with two or more swimmers, shifts totaling 10pts fulfills the requirement.
- In addition to these fees, a team swimsuit and warm-up jacket must be purchased when a new athlete joins the team. Other spirit wear items offered by the team, such as sweatshirts and bags, are optional. These can be ordered via our suit and spirit wear vendors.
