Online Accounts & Registration
Online Swimmer Registration
The second critical component of the new system is the ability to register swimmers and pay the registration fees and other team costs online using credit cards or "e-checks." Also, the information you enter will download directly into our team's swimmer database used for entering meets and tracking our swimmers' times, generating our team directory and e-mail lists and other important team management functions.
If you use the online system, you will not have to fill out a paper team registration form or RCSL registration form.
This means, if you are a returning swimmer to our team from 2011, you will not have to do or turn in any paperwork to register with the team.
All new swimmers will still need to provide us with a copy of their birth certificate or other legal proof of their birth date, but this is the only paperwork they will need to turn in to register.
We have posted some explanation of how to use the Online Swimmer Registration portion of the system and the related link below.
Please take a moment to read through the Main Page of this section and this page before actually using the new Online Registration System for the team. There is some very important information about the system on this page and the other pages in this section that will make your use of the system much easier.
Registering Your Swimmers Online
When you click on the Online Registration link below to start the process, you will be redirected to the online registration web site opening page.
If you are registering a swimmer for the first time with us, select the “New User” option – this will establish your Online Family Account as you register your swimmer(s) in this FIRST session.
See the final two paragraphs below if you were registered with us last year or have already registered a swimmer with us for this year and just want to add another – you should NOT click on the “New User” option in this case but will log in as a “Returning Member.”
If you don't remember your password from last year, you can retrieve/reset it through the system.
You will now go through a series of registration screens, beginning with the swimmer information. Be sure to read the instructions/prompts that are on the screen as you fill out the form. Any input field marked with a red asterisk (*) is a required field; failure to complete that field will generate an error message and prompt you to fill out that field before allowing you to proceed. These fields are usually ones that we need for our team software or for the Online Account to operate properly.
Once you have filled out the registration information for a swimmer, you will be presented with a screen that will allow you to order team logo apparel such as racing caps or t-shirts at the time you register. You can order T-shirts for mom and dad at this time as well if you want – quantities are not limited to one per swimmer. Please be certain to check the box to the left of any items you want and enter the quantity of the item you wish to purchase (just checking off the box does not order any items – you must also indicate the quantity). You can order these items later through your Online Account if you don’t choose to order them with the swimmer’s registration.
Once this page is completed, a financial summary of this swimmer’s transaction will display. You have the option to go back and edit any information you may have mis-entered, add another swimmer for your family or proceed to the “checkout” screen.
If you elect to enter a second swimmer, much of the information will be “copied” from the first swimmer’s information so that entering additional swimmers is accomplished very quickly.
The checkout screen will present you with a financial summary for all that you have entered, present you with several payment options and display a “waiver” that we require you to “sign” to be a member of the team. Select the option(s) you prefer, fill out the necessary payment information, accept the waiver and enter your name where indicated. Clicking on the “Process” button at the bottom of the page will complete the registration process and a confirmation page including the financial summary will be displayed. You can print out this confirmation for your records then click on the link to return to our website. You will also receive a confirming e-mail with the details of this transaction.
If you were a member of the team in 2011, you already have a family account established with all your
information. In the opening screen, click on the "Returning Member" button and log in (if you
don't remember your password from last year, you can retrieve/reset it through the system). You can
then register for 2012 using that account and all of the information you entered last year will
"come up" in the forms for this year. This will save you time and typing as all you have to
do is verify and correct this information and then complete the registration process (team apparel
screen, select a payment option and sign the waiver) to be registered for
2012
.
If you complete this process and then a sibling decides to join the team at a later date, you can return to the Online Registration process through the link on this page. Again, you can use the returning member option on the opening screen to log in to your Online Account that has much of your family information stored and complete an additional registration for that swimmer in much the same manner as above. Just like adding an additional swimmer above, much of the information will be copied from your first swimmer.
