Bethlehem Tides Summer Swim Team 2025 Registration

Welcome to the Bethlehem Tides online registration! Please review this information prior to entering the registration portal.  

We are excited to announce that we now have online registration available on February 1 for returning swimmers and Feb 15 for new swimmers.  

REGISTRATION FEES

The following registration fees apply for the 2024 summer season:

• $225 First Child INCLUDES CITY POOL PASS

• $200 Second Child INCLUDES CITY POOL PASS

• $180 Third Child INCLUDES CITY POOL PASS

• ***City of Bethlehem Lifeguard (16+) get a FREE POOL PASS and a discounted swim team rate of $125 (Reach out to bethlehemtides@gmail.com to get discount code for lifeguards.)

Attendance

Swimmers are expected to attend at least half of our 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.  Practice and meet calendar can be viewed here.

Pool Passes

Each swimmer automatically gets a city pool pass with their registration fee. You will not need to purchase that separately. You can purchase extra pool passes for non-swimmer family members online.  

Volunteering

We will need your help this summer! As a team, at both home and away meets we will need 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.

Fundraising

We are counting on each family to contribute $50 toward our fundraising goal. You can do a buyout for that via check or on the registration website, or you can participate in our fundraising events (dine and donate, spirit wear shop, or other events TBD)

Scholarships Available

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. 

Team Suits and Caps

Caps are available at practices. Team suits will be available through D & J Sports. 

Electronic Registration Notes

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 May 15.  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!
