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 compulsory for this meet.
To allow us to reserve accommodations for swimmers and book flights as soon as possible, all members must declare their intention to attend by September 23, 2026.

Estimated Cost:
Approximately $1,500 per swimmer
*We will do our best to keep the overall cost of the trip as low as possible.

Important Cost Information:
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. 

Thank you for understanding the commitment involved with Team Travel.

Chaperones
Team Travel will require at least one chaperone to accompany the swimmers. We are currently looking for parent/guardian volunteers who may be interested in taking on this role.

If you are interested in chaperoning, or would like more information about what is involved, please contact Lindsey. (office@eksc.com)
