**You can only enter this event via Swim Manager**
We’re excited to announce that ORCA Swimming Club will be transitioning to Swim Manager. This move will streamline our operations, improve club communications, and enhance overall swimmer management.
Swim Manager makes it easy for you to update your information, check upcoming meets and enter them, pay invoices and check the times of your swimmers.
We will also use this platform for any Club League Fixtures, allowing Coaches to select the team and then email parents to accept/decline the invitation.
To log in to Swim Manager for the first time follow these steps:
*Note that if you have more than one email address, you must use the address that your Club sent your welcome email to since this is the address that they have on record for you. *
If any details such as phone numbers, addresses etc are incorrect, you can use the pencil (Edit) button to make changes and enter the correct information yourself.
Please note that the swimmer name (first name, last name and known as) MUST match those details registered with Swim England. These should not need to be changed.
If you have any questions, please let us know.
