How to Sign Up for a Swim Meet

1. Review the meet information packet and determine what events you want your child/children to swim on what days. The meet information can be found on the Parents Corner > Sign up for a Swim Meet page on the right hand side of the window. It can also be found on the Meets page for the current season. Take note of the due date and time and make sure you get your entries in on time. 
   1. The meet information packets are in PDF format and require Adobe reader software. If you do not have this software you will not be able to view the information. The software is free and is available for download and installation at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html.
2. Log into the siteby clicking Login and using your username and password. 
   1. If you have not registered on the site you need to do so by clicking the Register button in the top right corner of the window. Make sure you follow the directions carefully.
   2. Signup requires a valid email address. If you do not have one you will need to get one. There are many places on the internet that provide free email. Do a search for free email to find one.
3. Enter your registrations online
   1. Navigate to the Parents Corner > Sign Up for a Swim Meet page.
   2. Towards the bottom of the window you will see the Swim Meet Registration Form. If you do not see the form make sure you are logged into the site. When you are logged in it will display your name in the top right corner of the window next to the logout button. If you do not see your name you are not logged in.
   3. Complete the form and click submit. If you have more then one swimmer you will need to complete the form once for each swimmer.
   4. Check your email for the email confirmation that the registrations were received. You should receive this email with a few minutes of submitting them. If you do not receive an email it was not submitted and you should try again. If it does not work the 2^nd time email flyers@fergusfallsswimming.org.
   5. If you encounter an error when submitting the form, or if in the registration process you are redirected to the login screen, try disabling your firewall.  We've had one or two instances where the personal firewall software prohibites the site from functioning correctly.
4. Submit your payment
   1. Print the email confirmation
   2. Fill out the calculation area at the bottom of the email.
   3. Attach a check made out to Fergus Falls Flyers (summer season) or YMCA (winter season) to the email and put it in the team mail box on the pool deck (summer season) or the front desk at the YMCA (winter season).
5. Check the website for the final entries and double check they were entered correctly.
   1. They will be posted as an announcement on the home page. Depending on when you submitted the registration it may take several days before they appear.
   2. If there are any problems with the entries send an email to flyers@fergusfallsswimming.org.

1. Find a computer to use such as a computer at the public library or a computer at work.
2. Buddy up with another family and use their computer to do your entries. If you need help finding a family to buddy up with contact one of the board members for assistance.
