General disclaimer about fees & sign-up deadlines: Signing up for any event constitutes a financial commitment to that event. Note that sign-up deadlines are set such that fees are no longer refundable beyond that date. Keyano pays for event costs and for entry fees to other club's hosted meets up front on behalf of members, and then passes those costs on to those signed up for a competition through monthly invoices. As a non-profit organization, it is our mandate to ensure each member is responsible for their own fees as of the sign-up deadline. 

General disclaimer about the Meet information package (attached): Please note that meet information packages are designed for swim clubs and so please use this only for the Date, Event order, and for your own curiosity beyond that. All fees and payments will be calculated on an individual basis and invoiced through the club payment system. We ask that you always contact your home coach and/or Keyano staff and never to contact host swim clubs / contacts outside of Keyano directly. 

Team Travel is an option for this meet. Please indicate in the comments section if your child will require team travel or you will travel on your own. In order to reserve accommodations for swimmers and book flights as soon as possible, we need members to declare their sign up by March 24, 2026.

Costs:
A reminder that by declaring for Team Travel that you are accepting the full cost of the trip, including any cancellation fees if the trip is canceled. Keyano works hard to recover everything we can from cancellations, usually including the hotel, vehicles and some flight credits - and any costs recovered are always returned to the members attending. To protect from unexpected situations, Keyano books flights that have cancellation options when possible but these options can cost over $1,000 more. If a no cancellation option is the only reasonable option then that is what we will book. We heavily scrutinize flights for cost and itinerary and choose the best option. Also note that the price of one flight online is always cheaper than a group booking, which uses up the few sale seats quickly. 

Cost for the trip will be invoiced as soon as possible after the sign up deadline. This may take some time if a hotel or flight is being negotiated or we have changing numbers of swimmers attending. The bulk of a trip is invoiced on or before the date of travel for known costs (flight, hotel, estimate for car and food), with a small final invoice after the trip to cover the actual cost of those estimated items. 

Chaperones
Potential chaperones are asked to please contact Lindsey. Team travel is contingent upon having a chaperone and a critical mass of attending athletes such that the costs do not skyrocket. Should we be unable to provide Team Travel we will notify parents before the sign-up deadline of March 24th, 2026.
