FEE STRUCTURE- USMS
REQUIREMENTS- Membership dues are required to be paid to provide members unlimited monthly access to MWA.
- All MWA members MUST hold a current U.S. Masters Swimming membership.
- Membership dues are non-refundable and non-transferable.
- Members are required to pay membership dues (drop in or monthly) whether you choose to attend workouts or not. Refunds are not issued for not attending workouts. If you plan to be away for an extended period of time, please review our membership freeze and suspend the account policies below.
Membership benefits are offered on a monthly basis. Membership is not offered on a daily or weekly basis. Therefore, dues are not prorated, and memberships are charged in full for the month regardless of the day of the month for which the member signed up. For example, members who join on the 29th of a given month will be charged the same as members who join on the 1st of that month. If a member cancels after the 1st of a particular month, the cancellation takes effect on the 1st of the following month.
Members have the choice to choose a monthly auto-billing payment schedule.
Dues are charged automatically on renewal dates (first of the month the next payment is due). Members will continue to be charged on your renewal date unless you request cancellation in writing, see cancellation policy below. MWA reserves the right to amend the date on which payment is due. MWA reserves the right to draft all amounts owed by the member using the credit card provided to MWA unless the member explicitly revokes authorization to use an account.
CANCELLATION
If a member wishes to cancel membership, the member must submit the request in writing to malibuwaveaquatics@gmail.com at least ten (10) days prior to the first of the month you wish to stop membership. For example, if you wish to cancel your membership beginning October 1st, you must submit your cancellation request by September 21st.
RATE INCREASE
MWA reserves the right to increase membership rates at any time upon providing notice of such increase to the member not less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the dues increase. Notice by electronic mail to a member’s registered email address shall be deemed adequate notice of any increase in dues.
CREDIT CARD FAILURES

You will be subject to a $35 late fee and membership cancellation for dues not paid within thirty days of the due date and for not maintaining a current credit card on file. Credit cards can be updated securely by logging into your account.
