Do we have to travel for swim meets?

How much are swim meets?
This Varies. Swim meets typically charge a fee per swimmer, and an additional fee for every event entered. The greater the level of competition, the higher the meet fee. It's typically $10-$25 to enter a swimmer, and $5-$10 for every event after that, depending on the level of competition. This cost of each swim meet can be found in the Meet Information Package on the host website.

Through our website with a registered account.
Once a meet is open for sign-ups, often you can select events and your Coach will approve or modify as appropriate. Please note the registration deadlines for each meet. Please note that the final determination of events for each swimmer is determined by the coach.
