Meet Entry Process

Each swimmer will be entered into all meets that they qualify for unless their coach is notified, in advance, that the swimmer will not attend a meet. Please watch out for these e-mails from your group coach, as the coaches will notify you when they need responses. There will be NO entry fees returned once the swimmer has been entered into the meet, even if a swimmer is forced to drop out leading into the event. This is because the meet fees are paid in advance to secure our spot at each meet.

You will also be responsible for notifying your group coach for each individual meet that you will not be able to attend. Blanket statements of availability will not be permitted in order to avoid the risk of making mistakes (i.e. “please don’t enter my child in any meets for the months of February and March”). You must decline for each meet announcement that gets distributed for your group.
