Registering for Swim Meets
 

Registering for Swim MeetsAquaTex encourages swimmers to participate in as many meets during a season as possible. Swim meets are an important part of training and an opportunity for swimmers to mark their progress.

Please check the Meet Schedule and your email for information on upcoming meets.



How To Register for Meets:

  • Check the Meet Info to determine which days and events you want to swim. The coaches are happy to help you make these decisions.
  • Print out a Meet Entry Form or email entries to Coach Mark.
  • Total the event and coach's fees for the meet and make payment before the entry deadline.
  • Forms and payments should go into the "completed meet entry file."

Email: You don't have to use the MEF form. Just include the swimmers name, the events he/she is entering. Please note if your swimmer is available for relays (AquaTex pays entry fees for relays). Then bring a check to the pool next practice.

Fees:
Fees MUST be paid prior to the entry deadline. They can be paid by cash or check at the pool.

The host of each meet sets a fee per swimmer/per event. Swimmers must pay the set fee for each event they enter. In addition, AquaTex will charge a per swimmer fee for the meet - usually $5. Once your swimmer is entered in the meet, no refunds are available.

If you submit an Meet Entry Form for a meet, you are responsible for the payment of all fees regardless of if your swimmer is able to attend or not. Once AquaTex pays the entry fees to the host team, we are unable to get a refund.

Out-of-Town Meets
Parents are responsible for transportation to out-of-town meets. When there is enough interest, AquaTex will rent transportation with each swimmer paying a portion of the rental fee and hotel fees. Coach Mark will determine if a swimmer is old/mature enought to attend without a parent.

When overnight stays are required, swimmers attending the meet will each pay a portion of the coach's expenses for attending the meet.
