WELCOME BOOKLET for new parents

Welcome Letter and State of the Team from Jenny Huelsberg, President, Tide Board of Directors

We recommend an excellent resource for ALL parents, created by Your Sports Resource. Read Excel at Being a Swim Parent HERE.

 

 

USA Swimming Registration

Points to remember:

  • If you, the parent, have never been a USA Swimming registered coach, official, board member, chaperone, or a USA Swimming registered athlete (swimmer) YOURSELF - you need to create a login (a Parent Account) with USA Swimming, in their SWIMS database. You are NOT making an account for your swimmer. Your swimmer will be associated with your account.
  • You are NOT registering yourself as a USA Swimming member unless required (i.e. you are a coach, official, board member, etc)
  • ONLY NOVICE SWIMMERS can purchase a Flex membership (2 meet limit). EVERYONE ELSE needs to purchase a Premium membership (unlimited meets).


Here is the procedure for NEW MEMBERS

These instructions should be followed by:
• Athletes or non-athletes who are registering with USA Swimming for the very first time.
• Athletes or non-athletes who were members in the past but did not register for the 2023 swim season.
• Athletes who registered as Individual Season members in 2023 and their registrations have expired. This is common for returning college    swimmers who train with Tide over the summer.
• Athletes who registered (in error) during July and August but whose registrations were refunded.
