I'm having trouble contracting for ice. What should I do?
  • Non member.The ice contract is available to SWFSC members before it is available to non-members. If you are a non-member and are unable to contract, the contract might not be open to you.
  • Contract deadline. The ice contract is available to registrants for a limited time. If the contract period is up, the contracting feature is disabled for the month.
  • Idle computer sessions. Once you begin the contracting process, do not leave your computer idle. Your contracting session might tmie out and you'll lose your contracted sessions.
  • Choose Print Invoice and Send Check. On the Make Payment screen, be sure to choose this method of payment. Your contract will not be processed unless you do.
  • Check your e-mail. If you have successfully registered for ice, you'll receive a confirmation e-mail.
  • Read the FAQ. If you're unfamiliar with the online contract, read and/or print out the FAQ about contracting.

Important: Before you e-mail our ice scheduler, make sure that you have read the contracting FAQ. Do not leave a voice mail. Our ice scheduler, like all club members, is a volunteer. Please respect their time.

The ice session I want is full. What should I do?

Ice session registrations are on a first-come, first-served basis and some sessions fill up quickly. If you must have a certain ice session, we recommend contracting in advance. You are welcome to come to the desired session, and if there are any walk on spots available due to no-shows, you may be able to skate.

Do not expect to be guaranteed a spot if the ice session is full. 

Where do I mail my check for ice?

Mail your check to:

SWFSC

C/O Fei Xiong

8422 Oakmont Dr
Madison, WI 53717


Checks need to arrive before the new ice session begins.

SAVE THE STAMP!
Drop box located in McFarland rink on the far side of our Rubbermaid cabinet.  

 

How do I see which ice sessions I’ve registered for?
  • E-mail. The easiest way to see your ice sessions is to check your e-mail. If you did not receive a confirmation e-mail with your ice sessions, you might not have completed the online ice contract correctly.
  • Online.
    • Visit swfsc.org
    • Log in with your username and password
    • Click on Profile at the top left, under your username
    • Under Financial/Historical Data, click on Transaction History
    • Locate the Event Registration that corresponds to the current month’s contract
    • Click on the double blue arrows to the left of date that corresponds to the Event Registration
    • You will see a list of your registered sessions as well as fee information
    • To print the list of your registered sessions, find the word Print in blue next to Event Registration and click on it. 
    • A print dialogue box will open.


I can’t make it to a session I’ve contracted for. Can I get credit for it?
  • Injury/illness. Injured or ill skaters may receive ice credit if they have a note from a medical provider. Skaters with routine medical appointments will not receive ice credit.
  • COVID-19: If a skater is required to quarantine due to a COVID-19 exposure/diagnosis they will be refunded for contracted ice sessions during quarantine. 
  • Scheduling conflict. All other scheduling conflicts are ineligible for ice credits.

Should you have any questions about ice credit, please reach out to swfscprez@gmail.com or swfscvp@gmail.com

How can I switch my ice session?


As a "home" or "associate" member of SWFSC, you are able to "switch" contracted ice sessions due to unplanned absences. Switches must be completed within the same month (with flexibility into the first week of the new month). The "new" session cannot be reserved in advance, and is subject to walk on availability. 
How can I tell if a session has room for walk-on skaters?
Online. When you log in to SWFSC.org, you can see how many spots are open in a session and decide whether you should visit the rink for your skater to walk-on to the ice.

  • Visit swfsc.org
  • Click on the Ice Contract menu option
  • Click on the current month’s ice contract
  • Scroll down to view the month’s ice sessions
  • Click on the double arrows next to the ice session you’d like to walk onto
  • You can see the Available Slots under the date and time
  • Walk-on fees are $14, to be paid to the ice monitor before a skater enters the ice

Important! The number of available slots online does not guarantee your skater a place on the ice. All walk-on ice is sold on a first come, first served basis. If you plan to have your skater walk on to a session, arrive early. Priority is given to home and associate members before non-members. 

How can I purchase a walk-on punch card?
Punch cards are for sale from swfsc.org. This is a GREAT way to get a discount on walk on ice. 

Home and Associate Members: $85 for 5 punches (hours)
Non Members: $95 for 5 punches (hours)

Punch cards do not expire and are good for any ice session with available slots. Please allow at least 48 hours after purchase for the punch card to be created and used.
