Failing to do this may void your registration!

Here are some tips for using the registration system:
(1) If you are a returning family, make sure to choose the option to “sign in using your email address” which will direct you to your portal page. All your information should already be there, and you can update it at this point to reflect any changes. **This is important so that we don’t have duplicates and risk voiding your registration altogether!**
(2) If you have multiple children to register, you will go through the registration process for one child, then when you are at the REVIEW CART & CHECK OUT screen, you will see a blue link to “+ ADD ANOTHER REGISTRATION”. **This is very important if you want to get the sibling discount!** The sibling discount will be applied at checkout. Again, if you are a returning family, all your children’s information should already be in there unless you are adding a new swimmer (which is a perfectly acceptable thing to do – yay, the more Barracudas the merrier!)
(3) You have 15 minutes to complete the registration otherwise you will be timed out; don’t start registering and then walk off to do something else.
Some people have had luck registering via their mobile devices, but we recommend that you use a laptop or desktop computer to avoid any potential headaches.
