Away Meet Entry Fees
When LMST families enter or "commit" their swimmers to an away meet on the team website, they are responsible for paying any additional meet entry fees associated with the competition (even if the swimmer chooses to not participate after originally entering).
Typical meet entry fees for away meets include:
- Individual Events ($6 - $12 per individual event entered)
- IASI LSC Surcharge ($6 per meet)
- Facility Surcharge ($6 - $10 per meet)
- Relay Events (covered by LMST)
The total meet entry fees vary from meet to meet. A breakdown of fees will always be included in the meet information packet (PDF) posted with the event on Commit. Outreach fees are always $5 per meet.
When a swimmer is signed up for a meet within the Iowa Swimming LSC, fees are typically "non-refundable" to visiting teams once they send initial entries to the host team. Our team usually sets our LMST- specific entry deadlines on Commit a day or two prior of when away teams start to accept meet entries. LMST- specific deadlines are set to guarantee entry into an away meet that our team plans on attending. Away teams can deny entry to our team if entries are sent after the initial entry period begins as the meet may reach its maximum capacity.
LMST administration for each away meet requests a check through the school district business office to cover the cost of our team's total fees. Individual families can pay the cost of their swimmers' meet entry fees through the Commit parent portal. Parents will receive an invoice on Commit for away meet entry fees within a couple weeks of LMST's meet entry deadline.
