Payment Policy

Installment billing is processed on or after the 5th day of each month for the current month. If you choose not to have your credit card billed automatically for the monthly BISC dues, a statement for the balance due will be sent via e-mail. All payments are due by the 25th of each month.

Each swimmer’s bill will be generated during the first week of each month for the upcoming month, and email notification of the balance due or payments made will be sent by email each month. All payments are due by the end of the second Friday of the month (electronic installment billing assures this will happen.) If you do not sign up for the automatic installment billing, you must make payment on time.

Late Payment

If payment is not received by the last day of the month, the swimmer(s) may be removed from practice until the account is settled. In addition, for any invoices that are not paid in full by the 25th of the month, your account will be charged a late fee of $20.

While this may sound strict, the only way we can run BISC on a balanced budget is to enforce the payment of fees rigorously. Remember that BISC has coaches’ salaries, benefits, and facility maintenance to pay each month, so these policies are designed to keep our costs down and hold our team fiscally responsible.
