Swimmers choosing to participate in swim meets are responsible for paying entry fees for those events.  Entry fees include a meet surcharge from Arizona Swimming, a $7 surcharge from MAC and a fee for each individual event a swimmer races (MAC pays for relays). For travel meets, families are responsible for costs such as transportation, hotels and meals.

You can find specific meet costs on the meet flyer linked under the event on the website.
