Competitor Registration/Team Registration

In the beginning

He/she who completes team register (belongs to a team) and individual athlete register for the Masters Swimming Association is able to participate in any official competition hosted by Masters Swimming Association.
Individual athlete register and team register can be done from "Members Page".
■ Individual athlete register and ID
An ID (3 alphabets and 5 digits) that will be issued in the beginning will be an athlete ID after individual athlete register is completed. This ID will be used as an official name and it won`t be changed under any condition. In addition, ID will always exist even though members aren’t active as a competitor.
An official competition of masters swimming operates by using this "ID" to keep track of individuals’registration and personal best times. Registration management through internet can be also done by using individual ID.
Team representative, whom is not registered as competitor, will also have an ID issued. Management of their own team can be easily done by logging in with team representatives’ID.

■ Team Register
A competitor, also can be called an athlete, must belong to a team because all the forms and register can only be done by a team. This system is based on this associations’ philosophy, “health, friendship, mutual understanding, and competition”. Create a team with the swimmers whom usually practices at the same pool and the team ID will be based on the pool location. Please feel free to make a team with any swimmers.
