Meet Escrow Accounts - If you plan to swim in any long course meets, a $50 meet escrow fee due at the time of registration. Either write a check out to the North Oakland Family YMCA or the escrow amount may be put on a credit card at the North Oakland Family YMCA Courtesy desk. This will streamline the entry process for all entries all summer. Each family may enter a meet from the comfort of their own home - select entries via Direct Athletics online and their meet fees will be deducted from their escrow account. When the account gets low, simply write an additional check out to the YMCA, drop it in the file at a practice designated for "Meet Escrows Accounts" and your athlete will be set again for future meets. If you have multiple children on the team, only one escrow account will be established per family. If you do not plan to enter any meets over the summer, this will not be necessary. Any unused escrow money with either be returned or applied to the 2008 - 2009 Winter Swim Season.
