This is an annual commitment and will not be prorated should you take time off or leave the program. However, we waive the Swim-A-Thon requirement for families who register 60 days or less prior to the date of the Swim-A-Thon.
  • All participants are required to have a bank account or credit card on file for monthly automatic drafts.  All payments are paid through our Team Unify website www.jaxswimteam.com. 
    • You will receive finance related emails to your primary login email. 
    • All monthly dues and fees incurred during the previous month, including meet fees, will be charged on the 1st day of the new month.

    • Monthly fees will be considered late on the 21st day of the new month and a fee of $10 will be added to the account.
    • Monthly fees that are past due for more than 30 days will result in a swimmer not being able to participate in swim events.
    • It is your responsibility to update credit/debit card information whenever your card on file expires or is replaced.  The Parent Board will do its best to alert you when it sees that a credit/debit card payment has failed, but that is considered a courtesy and not the responsibility of the team.  Ultimately, it is your responsibility to update their credit/debit card information as needed.  Any late fees that are charged due to credit/debit card failures will not be refunded.

    • To return from the leave of absence, email [email protected] to reactivate your swimmer’s membership.

Cars parked on campus without permits may be ticketed. 

11. Parent/Guardian Policy:

  • Children must be escorted on campus and supervised at all times.
  • No one is allowed on the pool deck except for coaches and those who are dropping off or picking up swim lesson participants.
  • Any children who come with you must be either actively participating with another JAX program (competitive team or lessons) or be supervised by another adult while you are swimming.
  • JAX participants and their families are guests on the University of Memphis Lambuth campus. Everyone must abide by campus policies and directions given by campus faculty and staff.
