NEYS Meet SignUp Clarifications
November 2nd
Dual Meets
- This is for DUAL MEETS ONLY: Only need to sign up for Session 1; ignore session 2. Session 2 is not a separate session, it's just for exhibitions on the software template.
- The session date on the mobile app (as opposed to the date on the main schedule) will always say Oct. 1, because that's the date the league template was created. I cannot easily change that, so just always use the main date(s) on the Swimtopia Schedule from the main page, and/or my emails.
- Only need to declare your swimmer's attendance, coaches choose events.
Invitationals
- Only sign-up for the session(s) your swimmer is competing in.
- Swimmers choose their events.
- The meet info packets have a lot of good information, but they are written months ahead of time. As a result, session times/dates may be different from the packet; the packet is just a estimate.
- Use the session arrival times listed on my emails or on the main schedule. With my emails being the priority for changes that may occur on short notice. I know it's not ideal, but every pool facility has multiple programs running in their locations, and session lengths may vary widely depending upon the number of swimmers that sign-up each year.
- So, plan with that estimate when deciding if you're attending an invitational, but use my arrival time emails to determine when you should actually be on deck, ready to warm-up for the meet.
Hope this helps,
Coach Drake
