The one thing that has not changed over the past five years is the fee<br />
schedule. After a through review of the entire <strong>LRC</strong> swim program<br />
and other comparable swim programs in Hong Kong, the<br />
Swimming Subcommittee has put forward a new fee schedule<br />
which brings charges inline with general increases in costs and<br />
comparable swim programmes. The new fee structure will go into<br />
effect 1 September 2010. The fee structure can be found in full in<br />
Fastlane, the sports desk and posted on the bulletin board.<br />
