High School Swim Times
We are working to ensure that all times from the observed high school meets are included in our Team Unify database. This is not an automatic process. Many high school teams have the wrong USA Swimming member ID for swimmers so results do not reconcile with the member information. Also, not all high school meets are observed, ie, dual meets.
With the changes to the USA Swimming ID numbers and the integration with the USA Swimming times database, we will need to manually collect and record your high school times into the Machine Team Unify database. Please be aware that Team Unify DOES NOT LINK to the USA Swimming database so if the times are not provided to us, we have no way of getting them into the Machine database.
To submit your times for the observed high school meets for the 2023-34 season, please use this form. You will be asked to provide your swimmer’s ID number, the event and time and a screen shot of the result.
Recording Volunteer Hours
Please send your hours as you complete them by clicking the form below. When you reach 22 hours, we can process a refund check for you. To help us track your volunteer hours, please CLICK HERE.
