Welcome to the 2025-2026 swim season with Durango Swim Club (DGO).  DGO is a local, independent non-profit organization (501C3) run by volunteer parents & promotes youth swimming in La Plata and neighboring counties. DSC offers competitive swimming at six levels beginning with Bronze to Seniors. 

 

As a year-round swim club & non-profit organization practice dues are the primary source of funding. DGO has many fixed, year-round costs that include coaches’ salaries & certifications, pool rental fees & equipment upkeep as well as other club operational expenses.  Below is the fee & dues schedule for 2025-2026 swim season.  

Please note:  Entrance into the Durango Community Recreation Center is NOT included in dues.  Please see the front desk at the Rec Center for information on daily and annual passes. 

Monthly payments for trimester dues are charged at the beginning of each month. DGO requires automatic payment set-up for every account.  

There will be no account suspensions mid-trimester.  A registered member must pay for the entire trimester even if the swimmer is not swimming.  Monthly payments will be continued through the end of the trimester even if the swimmer is not swimming.

  • DGO offers a 10% discount for dues that are paid annually.  This discount can be applied only in September.   DGO offers a 5% discount for dues that are paid by the trimester.  This discount may only be applied at the beginning of each trimester.  Please contact the Durango Swim Club Treasurer at [email protected] to make arrangements.
  • DGO offers a discount for multi-athlete families; the full rate is charged for the athlete in the most advanced group, the second athlete receives a 10% discount, the third receives a 25% discount & each additional athlete receives a 50% discount.  Multi-athlete discounts and pre-payment discounts may be combined.
  • An annual registration fee of $50 will be applied per family at the time of initial registration.  This fee will only be charged once per year. 
  • A trial week may be requested before trimester dues are applied.  
  • Scholarships are available, please contact the Durango Swim Club Treasurer at [email protected] for more information.
  • All DGO members are required to have an active USA Swimming Membership.  All programs run by DGO are certified via USA Swimming & this serves as the umbrella organization providing liability coverage.  Those members with current USA swimming memberships will be charged for renewal.  New members must apply for USA membership before starting practice.
  • Swim meet entry fees vary based on the hosting team. Swim meet fees are charged per individual/relay event plus a flat swimmer/pool surcharge.  A breakdown of fees is included in the meet program posted on the DGO website under each corresponding meet.   Meet fees are charged monthly. 
    • Please note, DGO is charged by other teams for every swimmer that is entered into the meet even if they do not swim.  If your swimmer is entered into an event they do not swim or a meet they do not attend, your account will still be charged the meet fee. 
  • Out of town competitions require supplemental fees due to the high cost of travel for DGO coaches.  
    • $40.00 per family charge for all swim meets outside of Durango.  
    • $100.00 per family for State Meet competitions
    • $250.00 per family for championship meets such as Zones, SWAGR, Sectionals & Futures.
