pool parent for assistance.
Entering Swim
Meets
Q: How do I sign up to swim in a
meet?
A: You will receive an email from CW when a
meet becomes available for sign-up. Remember that there is a
deadline for sign-up that is listed on the email and on the
registration information on the
website.
After signing-in on the CW website, click
on the “Attend this Event" box under the meet of interest in
the “Upcoming Events" section at the lower-right corner of
the homepage.
Q: Which events should I sign up
for?
A: Discuss with your coach which events are
appropriate.
Q: Where do entry
times come from?/Can I submit alternate entry
times?
A: Entry times are generally a
swimmer’s fastest legal time in an event recorded in our
database. For some meets, such as the state championships,
only the fastest times achieved in the last year are
considered. A swimmer who does not have a time
in an event may be entered by the coach with no-time or a time
estimate from a similar event or a practice. If you have
alternate times for the coach to consider such as times from a
country club or high school meet, include them in the "Notes"
section when you are signing-up for a meet.
Q: How do I know that my meet entries are
accepted?
A: When you select your
child’s desired events at a meet, they will have a status of
“committed". Coaches will review, update and finalize all
entries after the entry deadline. Once this process is completed,
each swimmer’s status will change to "approved", typically
within a few days of the entry deadline.
Q: How do I pay my meet
fees?
A: Meet entry fees are automatically added to
your account balance and will be included in your next
month’s bill.
Other
Common Questions
What happens if I choose my events now
and then get best times at upcoming meets? Will my seed times be
updated? Can I change events?
- CW will always use the fastest results we
are allowed to use for entry into championship
competition.
- You may change your events on our website
until a coach "approves" your entry. This generally happens after
the CW entry deadline closes.
Can I have a coach help choose my
events? What if I don’t know which events to
swim?
- Print a copy of the order of events and take
it to your coaches at practice. Your coaches will help you select
events.
- Or, "commit" to meet on our website, but
don’t choose events. Your coaches will select your events for
you and you will be billed for those selections. You can add notes
to your coaches in the "notes" text box if you have specific
requests or concerns.
