How Parents enter swimmers in Meets Using Swim Portal

Here is the link from Active, the new program JHSR just purchased to help streamline registration, practice groups, meet entries and collection of fees.

It has screen shots so you can see what you should be looking at when you enter your swimmers in a meet.  Click on the colored type below

Parents Enter a swimmer using the Swim Portal   

How to enter a Meet via Active

The Board purchased ActiveWorks because the club is growing and it is too time consuming to do things the way they have been done in the past. 

All future sign-ups: USA Registrations, practice groups and meet entries and meet tasks for parents will be done via Active

There was some confusion regarding the email that was automatically produced by Active regarding the Spook Splash Meets and some parents did not recognize the entity from which it came.

Sign-Up for Both Spook Splash Meets Closes this Monday, October 16 at 6PM

In the Sept 22 Board Meeting Minutes  the Board discussed giving swimmers two options for the Spook Splash given that the Idaho Falls meet is generally for younger swimmers and the Lander meet, which falls on the same day, will be more competitive for other swimmers."

The Lander Spook Splash Meet will be held on Oct 25,26,27.  Swimmers may compete on 1, 2, or all 3 days.  Invitations to sign-up for this meet were sent via email from Active Support on October 7 to swimmers who have qualified for WY Championships in the past and some new swimmers in the Intermediate Competitive Group for swimmers 11 &Over. This meet will present challenges for our experienced swimmers and a great opportunity to see their competitors from other Wyoming teams since our ultimate goal is to achieve Qualifying times and attend in the WY Championship meets and higher level USA Swimming meets.  We encourage those who were invited to sign-up for the Lander meet to go to Lander.  However, if you cannot attend the Lander meet for logistical or other reasons, you may sign-up through your swim portal for the Idaho Falls Meet. You can be a supportive teammate and role model for our newer swimmers

Younger and less experienced swimmers are encouraged to go to the Idaho Falls Meet, Saturday, Oct 26. An invitation to sign-up for the Idaho Spook Splash was sent to all JHSR swimmers from Active Support on Saturday Oct 12.  This email contains your personal Swimportal link that you need to use to sign-up for the meet. 

Sign –Ups for both Spook Splash meets close at 6PM this coming Monday, October 14. 

JHSR will have coaches at both meets.
