Leaving PST
For most PST members (see below for exceptions), we are unable to refund or credit any dues. PST is a full year commitment as far as finances go. Every year during the registration process, parent(s) are asked to ‘check’ that you have read and agreed to our RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY; FINANCIAL AGREEMENT, of which the relevant portion states:
“Regardless of the dues payment option selected, participants/guardians are obligated to pay the full annual dues. Voluntary or involuntary withdrawal from Piedmont Swim Team during the swim year will not dismiss participant’s obligation to pay the full annual dues in the amount of time selected. There are no refunds of any amounts.”
If your swimmer is considering leaving PST before the end of the season, please discuss this choice with your swimmer's coach. Once you decide that leaving the team is the right choice for your swimmer, please let us know by completing this form. If you choose to keep your account active in the system, your swimmer can continue to participate in all team activities as much or little as they prefer through the end of the swim season (end of July). You will also need to meet general work hours requirement. If you prefer to inactivate your account, please let us know when you complete the Departing Swimmer Request Form. Once your account is current (ie all financial obligations have been met), we will inactivate your swimmer, any unworked hours will be waived and you will no longer receive any PST related news.
Please reach out to the Board of Directors with any queries.
2024/25 Season - Green and New Blue Swimmers:
Green group families: Green swimmers may choose not to return at the end of each term. The remaining two terms this season run from March 8 - May 31 (12 wks) and June 1 - July 27 (8wks). If your swimmer does not plan to return for the term starting on March 8, please let us know no later than February 10 by completing this form. Please let us know no later than May 21 if your swimmer does not plan to return for the term starting on June 1. If we do not hear from you by these dates, your family will be committed financially for the full length of the upcoming term.
New Blue group families: If you have a swimmer in the Blue group who was new to PST in August 2024, please be aware that your swimmer’s trial period ends in February. If your swimmer does not plan to continue on PST, please let us know no later than February 10 by completing this form. After February 10, your trial period will end. Payment for the second half of the season can be paid either in one lump sum or can continue to be charged monthly.
As a reminder, all policies on leaving PST can be found in our 2024/25 Swim Season Team Handbook.
