Upcoming Swim Meets and Events

BlueRed Meet at MissionViejoNadadores, Nov 16-18 (swimmers must have a minimum of Red time to qualify). Entry Deadline Closed

BlueRedWhite Meet at ORCA, Dec 1 & 2 is now open for sign-ups. Swimmers can select events, however your coach will review all swimmer entries and make changes as needed. Deadline to declare your entrance to this meet is Wednesday, Nov 14th.

Swim Meets:Southern California Swimming has adopted a new rule effective September 1, 2012 that swimmers may not sign up for meets unless their SCS form/payment is on file at the SCS main office in Santa Barbara as of the meet deadline date. Therefore, SCA swimmers that declare for a meet and are not duly registered with SCS as of the SCA deadline date will be “undeclared”. (No exceptions).

2013 Southern California Swimming Registration.
·  All 2012 SCA registered swimmers have been automatically invoiced $62 per swimmer for their 2013 SCS registration. This will be processed on your December statement. We will be submitting 2013 registrations to SCS electronically on Friday, December 14th. This will give SCS ample time to process our registrations prior to the holiday break and allow our swimmers to be ready to enter the water in 2013. AFTER THE 2013 REGISTRATION HAS BEEN PROCESSED AND SUBMITTED TO SCS, THERE ARE NO REFUNDS.
·  If your swimmer transferred from another team within the past 3 to 4 months, we cannot submit your registration electronically. You will need to submit a paper form for your 2013 registration. Please pick up a form from your coach. Complete the form and return to your coach. The fee will be charged to your account on your December statement. Swimmers in this category are: Brooklyn Aguilera, Douglas Buie, Carson Carroll, Ramius Mai, Mariah Meyer, Mary St. Clair, Arianna Scheneman, Jonathan Shier, Karli Thuen, and Malia Yim. (If you have submitted 2013 within the last week, let me know and I will removed SCS fee from your December invoice).
·  If you have a swimmer that is currently inactive but plans to return to SCA in the early part of 2013, please let me know so that I can include their registration in our electronic batch. Any swimmer previous registered with SCS that returns to SCA MUST BE REGISTERED WITH SCS before entering the water. There is no “grace period” for previously registered swimmers.
·  We will be checking registrations on the first day of practice in 2013 and any swimmer not registered will not be allowed in the water until their registration and payment is received and processed by SCS. No exceptions. Dues are not prorated for time out of the water due to non-compliance of SCS registration.
·  The following swimmers are not registered with SCS and need to complete their form and submit form and payment to SCS within the week or your swimmer will not be allowed in the water as of Monday, November 19th. These swimmers are: Yasmin Balci, Liam Buie, Ellie Gifford, Kei Henjum, Claire and Jackton Hetrick, Kylie Hill, Kylie and Owen Hornig, Samantha and Trent Johnson, Bowie Lim, Brooke Lindsay, Kailea Lucy, Sara McLaughlin, Rylan Panepinto, Milan Pekarek, Faith Peponis, Asher Porter, Sarah Roberts, Haley Stephens, Carson Verity, Jacob Wellikson, Adam Wright, and Gabriella Zuniga. (You must show your coach an original birth certificate or passport for your swimmer).
