PROGRAMS (Registration Forms)
For all programs, contact the MCSC for availability. All athletes take a short evaluation to determine their proper Level within the MCSC and complete the registration form. Complete the registration form and attend an evaluation. Membership is is based on a successful evaluation. Successful evaluations include a swimmer "level" determination by the coaches, good behavior and demonstrating a willingness to learn by the swimmer. Swimmers aren't bound to the MCSC at the first practice either. If the swimmer or parent don't want to continue with the MCSC after the 1st practice, there is no cost to you. Availability is limited.

Fees & Responsibilites
There are no hidden fees or required fund-raising thresholds. USA Swimming and NJ Swimming registration and most meet fees are included in the pricing. If your athlete is participating in a meet, the parent(s) take a turn timing. Taking part in fund-raisers is optional, though we request that all parents help out where they can. The MCSC supports NJ Swimming and encourages parents to train as officials. Those parents do receive a discount representing our thanks for their contribution. We plan to host meets as another way of supporting NJ Swimming. To do this, parental support will be needed to provide the swimmers with well run meets.
There is a New Member Fee for athletes that were not a member of the MCSC during the previous swim year. Athletes that participate in meets need to purchase a team competition suit and swim caps.
View the registration forms for complete pricing and options.
Fees can be given to a coach at practice or mailed to MCSC, 5 Paula Ct, Denville NJ 07834.
New Member Fee – The new member fee is $10 per month, up to $110 for your first 11 months with the club.
Annual Registration Fee $40, payable and non-refundable with registration (after acceptance by the MCSC).
Late Fee - Swim Fees are due by the 1st of the month for any given swim month. Members pay for reserving practice time, not for actual practice time. If the fee is received after the 1st of any month, there is a $5 Late Fee. Practice privileges are suspended for members whose payment is over 15 days late and are not reinstated until proper payment is made.
Early Payment Discount – Fees can be paid quarterly for any member practicing for 3 months or more. If payment is received by the 1st day of the month for a given 3-month period, deduct $10 from the total quarterly fee. Swim year fees paid in full via one payment for members practicing at least 6 months deduct $40 from the total fee.
Base Monthly Fee – The Base monthly fee is due by the 1st of the month of any given month a member plans to practice. Members pay for reserving practice time, not for actual practice time, so get to your practices and make up missed practices. Swim once during the month and you are committed to that months fee. The "monthly" fee is not based on the number of swim days in a given month. The "monthly" fee is based on the total annual costs for the club divided by 11 (July & August count as 1 month). Members are responsible for fees for the months they sign up, but only through the current month of the date that they contact swimstiles@yahoo.com requesting a change.

USS Swimming Certified Official Discount, which also provides the basis for a family discount – As a certified USS Official, the MCSC recognizes that you put in a lot of time for our members and have expenses related to officiating. This discount is the MCSC way of saying thanks for your effort! The discount is $15 per month, per swimmer. If you work at 20+ sessions, the discount is doubled to $30 per month, per swimmer!
Clinic Fee – The MCSC runs optional Stroke Clinics during the swim year. The current fee is $15 per clinic practice and a maximum of $45 per week.
Level 1 pre-team Lessons are $20, pay as you go for a 30-minute lesson. For a same day 1-hour continuous lesson, the cost is $35.
High School Program is pay $80 per month in advance, giving you 1 practice per week, plus pay as you go $20 per practice for the 2nd practice in a given week, $10 for the 3rd practice in a given week and $5 for the 4th practice in a given week. The 5th or more practices in a given week are free.
Fund Raising Requirement is $0. No member is required to take part in fund raising activities.
Volunteering – There is no penalty fee for not volunteering to help. However, if your swimmer takes part in meets, parents are required to take a turn with the timing assignment, if we have one. This is usually no more than 30 minutes. If the MCSC hosts a meet, we request that everyone tries to help out. Hosting meets is a revenue producing activity for the club and hosting helps offset club costs and may provide for a rebate to volunteering parents. The only "exception" or work requirement is that parents of swimmers participating in the, MCSC Co-Hosted, Short Course 13-19 Silver/Bronze meet are required to work any session their swimmers are taking part. Those helping, with swimmers involved or not, share in the income produced from the meet in the form of a rebate towards the next years swim fee, as a way to keep your annual fee lower.
