Tides swimmers are expected to attend at least half of our dual meets. We have a total of 8 meets this season. We expect attendance at as many other practices as possible each week. It is highly encouraged and beneficial for swimmers to attend practices on the mornings of meets.
We will need your help this summer! As a team, at both home and away meets we will need approximately 30 parent volunteers across various jobs. We have 8 swim meets over 6 weeks. You will have so much more fun while you are volunteering! We will send out a link to you in several weeks through Active.com (our team portal) for you to pick your volunteer jobs . Your participation as a volunteer is expected. Please expect to work a minimum of 3 jobs over the summer. Any family that does not fulfill the minimum of 3 jobs will be assessed a $150 volunteer charge.
Scholarships are available. If you think you fit the criteria, please complete the Scholarship Form and a member of our board and coaching staff will follow up with you.
With our electronic registration, you will have multiple payment options. You will be able to pay in full with credit or debit card, pay in full with cash or check, or create a payment plan to pay 50% at time of registration with your final payment on June 1. If you would like to pay via cash or check, you must select to pay the full amount, and you will be able to select the manual payment option at checkout.
With the electronic registration, you'll get access to your own private portal account that will enable you to declare for swim meets, sign-up for volunteer jobs, maintain your own contact information, and more.
We look forward to having you join the Bethlehem Tides Swim Team and are excited for an excellent season!

Invitational Meets are separate from our regular summer league dual meet schedule. These meets bring together multiple teams from all over our region, offering an exciting atmosphere and a fantastic way for our swimmers to experience a higher level of competition.
