Registration Information

Bethlehem Tides Summer Swim Team 2024 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. Please use the link below to secure your spot on our team for this summer.  We strongly suggest you register before our in person registration this coming Saturday,  April 6.  This is your chance to secure your child(ren)'s spot early. 

REGISTRATION FEES

The following registration fees apply for the 2024 summer season:

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.

Registration

In-person registration is this Saturday, April 6 from 9-12 at Memorial Pool. Please come out to meet the coaches, other swim families and if you would like help with the registration process. 

Pool Passes

Remember, each swimmer automatically gets a city pool pass with their $200 registration fee. You will not need to purchase that separately. You can purchase extra pool passes for non-swimmer family members online.  City representatives will be present on April 6 during the in-person registration to assist with pool pass purchases for additional family members. 

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 $75 volunteer charge.  Thank you so much, we can't do this for the kids without everyone. 

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, meet theme costume rental, or other events TBD)

Team Suits and Caps

Caps will be available on Saturday at registration for $10. They will also be available at practices starting in May. Team suits will be available through D & J Sports and a representative will be at our May 21 practice at Liberty High School. If you can not attend that practice, you can visit D & J in Coopersburg or talk with one of the coaches about ordering. 

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!
