2. $50 Stock Transfer Fee

3. $400 Maintenance Fee

4. $50 Future Improvement Fund

$2,500 Total

The transaction price of stock is determined annually based upon the value of the club and the number of stockholders. The price of stock is expected to remain constant for the next few years. Stock is transferable only through the club.
There is a $50 transfer fee payable by both the buyer and seller.
The membership Maintenance Fee covers the annual operating costs of the facilities. This amount is reviewed annually and may be increased by the Board of Trustees if needed.
The Future Improvement Fund is an annual fee paid by members to be used for future renovation and major pool improvements.

Statements are sent in February. The due date for Maintenance Fee and Future Improvement Fund payments is March 1.

Summer memberships are offered each year in April and are available ONLY to families on the waiting list to join Bayside Swimming Club. The cost is $675 for a summer membership, which is good for one swimming season. Families who have been on the waiting list the longest are offered summer memberships when they become available.

Inactive Members may use the facilities 10 times in a season. This is a limit of 10 usages per membership number, per year. For example, if 4 family members use the pool during regular operating hours on the first day the pool opens, only 6 usages are left for the entire swimming season. Inactive members pay $100 each year, which includes the annual $50 Future Improvement Fund assessment and must pay a $3 guest fee for each usage. Guest passes may be used to cover the $3 guest fee. Books of 10 guest passes are available for $25 from the lifeguard on duty. Inactive members may not rent the pool for parties or use the facilities as guests of active members.
