ENTERING
MEETS ONLINE
Meets are
offered throughout the year. Swimmers should participate in scheduled swim
meets that are appropriate to their ability (A, B or C times). Parents and
swimmers choose which meets and events by entering on line. This document
will help you go through this process.
1)
1) Go to
www.pointeaquatics.com
to see what meets are available. Often, announcements regarding meets
recently posted to the website will be posted on our front page in the
“Splash-line box”.

2) When you get to the
Meet Info page, find the meet you wish to enter |
| and click on the "meet info "
link below the meet. |

packet with all of the information that you need to know |
|
The season meet schedule
is listed |

at the top. |
| 7) If this is
your first time to the site, your username and password will be the same |
| You will be prompted to
create a new password. |
| 8) Look for the meet you want
to enter. In this example, the OLY meet has closed, and |
| the swimmer has entered the
50's Rat Race, as well as the Trick or Treat meet, but has |
| not yet entered the Lakers
Rock the Blocks Meet |
