Lesson Fees

The lesson fees are paid each month to the Conroe Aquatic Center to cover facility use and pay the coach. The amount per month varies based on residence location (within city limits receives a lower rate) and number of lessons per week. Pay before the 5th of the month to avoid a late fee and to ensure the payment to your coach is not delayed (payments received after the 5th are not processed to the coach until the following month). There is an online payment option, please see the Aquatic Center office for details.

Sanction Fees are paid to be a member of the sanctioning body of our club and the meet(s) you plan to attend. In order to practice or compete with the Conroe Diving Club, all divers must register themselves with the Amateur Athletic Union. In order to compete at regional or national meets, Junior Olympic divers will need to register with USA Diving. These fees are paid once per year, around $20 for AAU and around $200 for USA Diving. These fees cover the insurance and the governance of your diver’s participation at meets.

Divers personal travel expenses are not covered by the club. As your diver progresses, he or she may participate in more out of town meets which will incur expenses for transportation and hotels.
