Guidance For Completing Open Meet Entry Forms.
Your child may receive
a form for you to complete to enter an Open Meet.
This forms needs to be
completed in its entirety otherwise the entry may not be processed.
Here is some guidance to
help you with finding the information you may require to enter on the
form.
ASA
Number
The ASA number for
your child can be found on the ASA website, go to http://www.swimmingresults.org/events/biogs/biogindex.php and search under your surname.
Qualifying
Time
Normally the Open
Meets qualifying times will be printed on the back of the entry form, depending
on the meet level these times may be minimum qualifying times or upper cut of
times this is made clear in the organiser’s information. It is your
responsibility to indicate your Childs qualifying (PB) time for each event they
intend to enter.
Times can be found in
a number of ways.
A) If your child has swum in a competition for the
club or at time trials the times achieved are always displayed on the notice
board at Whitgift Pool, you should keep a note of the times achieved, and their
Personal Best Time (PB).
B) If your child has previously swam in a licensed
meet, follow the step to find ASA Number then double click on the ASA number to see your
Childs current ASA ranking times. From this page you can then list historical
times by clicking on the “click for history button”
that is in the top left hand corner of the displayed time grid. From the displayed historical page if you
click on the individual stroke/distance all historical times for that stroke
will be displayed.
C) If your child does not have qualifying times
speak to their squad coach.
Returned
No Later Than
The entry form will
indicate a date to return the form by, this is the very
latest date that entry forms will be accepted for processing, please
try and return forms earlier than this date. The date may be well before the
official meet closing date and this is to allow us adequate time to process the
entries.
Entry
Fees
Payment by cheque should be made
to Cleethorpes & District Swimming Club or CADS
Entry forms will not
be processed if the entry fee does not accompany the form.
If you receive
entry forms for a number of meets please submit separate cheques for each meet.
Please do not include
any other payments in your entry cheque.
If you have more than
one child entering the same meet a single cheque to cover that meet is
acceptable.
