It is not surprising that a few people had stuff come up.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/294363?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 12 Apr 2023 21:41:53 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:080b595e-57d8-4b72-9d21-b2d23a3410f0Michael Martin<p>Thanks Jay. &nbsp;I was just wondering.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/294362?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 12 Apr 2023 20:41:36 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:0f575ff8-f5da-4a18-a1a9-569f15775659Jay Eckert<p>Hi&nbsp;<a href="/members/022er">Michael Martin</a>, yes this is consistent with previous years. USMS has a lenient refund policy (compared to other types of sports/events). Swimmers can request a refund for any reason up until a week after entries close: April 3 entry deadline, April 10 refund deadline.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
