How do I sign my child up for
OCSC?
Right here on this web site. More information to
follow. If you are having difficulty registering your
swimmer, please contact our registration coordinator, Jill
Klassy at 608-835-3570 or email at Jill.Klassy@hotmail.com
How do I know what swim meets OCSC will be
attending?
The OCSC
swim meet schedule is posted at
the pool and is available on this website. All of the meets on this
list are available to any OCSC swimmer unless specified
differently. The A+ and state championship meets are available only
to those swimmers who have qualifying times (also known as
cuts).
How do I sign my child up for a swim
meet?
More information to follow.
How do I sign my child up for relay
events?
You don’t. The coach will create relay teams using swimmers
who have signed up for individual events. If your
swimmer signs up for a meet, he/she will be eligable for a
relay. This does not mean they will be chosen to be on the
relay(s). For more info refer to the
"Relay Q and A"
How does the coach decide which swimmers to place on a
relay team?
There may be exceptions, but generally, the swimmers
are chosen for relays based on their seed times. For example, for
the girls 9-10 200 free relay, the four 9-10 year old girls with
the fastest 50 free seed times will be chosen for the relay team.
If there are nine or more girl swimmers aged 9-10 signed up for the
meet, a second relay team will be created, using the swimmers with
the 5th through 8th best seed times.
How much does it cost to attend a swim
meet?
Costs vary, depending on the meet host. There is a set charge for
each individual event and each relay event that your child signs up
for. Events are generally $3 to $4 each. There is also an
additional "splash" fee of $3.00 per swimmer that goes to Wisconsin
Swimming. So, if your child swims 4 individual events and 2 relays,
you can expect to pay anywhere from $21.00 to $25.00 for the meet.
Event costs will be specified on the meet sign-up sheet.
How do I pay for swim
meets?
The money for swim meets is paid out of your
family’s "swim fund". You must keep this fund current with
enough money to cover all of your children’s meet expenses.
Swim fund checks must be made out to OCSC Swim Fund. Contact
the OCSC Swim Fund Coordinator for further information about paying
into your swim fund or to inquire about your current swim fund
balance.
Do I still have to pay if my child misses a meet that I
signed up for?
Yes! Once you sign up for a meet, you are
responsible for paying all fees. In addition, if the absence of
your child causes the cancellation of an OCSC relay event due to
lack of 4 swimmers, you are responsible for paying the ENTIRE cost
of the relay event (generally $10-$12).
If I don’t fill out a meet reservation form, can my
child still attend the meet?
In most cases, yes. The majority of swim meets do
not reach capacity, so you will be able to sign your child up for
the meet when the sign-up sheet is posted at the pool. For the
meets that do fill up, your child will not be able to attend if
reservations were not made.
Does it cost anything to make
reservations?
No. There is no cost for making reservations. However, by filling
out the form you are agreeing to pay all fees associated with the
number of events that you reserve. These fees will be taken from
your swim fund near the date of the meet. If your child does not
attend the meet, you are still responsible for paying these
fees.
Where do I find my swimmer’s USA
Membership number?
Each swimmer is assigned a USA Membership number when joining USA
swimming. Each member of our team is a USA swimming member. Your
swimmer’s number is unique to your swimmer. It is: numeric
birthday, first three letters of their firstname, their middle
initial and first four letters of their last name.
For example, Suzy S Swimmer, birthday 9/09/99 USA number
is 090999SUZSSWIM.
If you only have three digits in your last name, a * would take the
place of that letter or if you have no middle initial.
Is there a place I can check my
child’s best times?
You can view all of your swimmer’s previous times by going to
http://www.usaswimming.org/USASWeb/DeskDefault.aspx?TabId=358.
This will direct you to a National Database which contains your
swimmer’s times based on their USA membership number.
You can also look up your swimmers times on this web page by
clicking on the side tool bar, "My Meet Results." Put in the
necessary information and your swimmers meet results should show up
on your screen.
