How do I sign up my swimmer for a meet?

It’s time to dive into the world of meet declarations(attending or not attending)! 🏊‍♀️ You know what they say—if you don’t declare, you’ll be unprepared (okay, maybe no one says that, but it sounds important, right?). Declaring your swimmer’s attendance helps our coaches craft the perfect lineup and ensure that your little Michael Phelps is racing like a pro.

But don’t worry, the process is easier than a cannonball into the deep end. Whether you’re using Team Unify or the OnDeck app, we’ve got the step-by-step deets right here. Plus, if your swimmer’s availability is more “one-day hero” than “all weekend champ,” you can drop those specifics in the Notes section so we know exactly which days they’ll be making a splash. 💦

So, grab your towel, click those buttons, and let’s make sure your swimmer is all set for race day fun! 🏊‍♂️💨

Ready? Set… Declare!
