MEET ENTRY PROCEDURES
We have partnered with Direct Athletics
www.directathletics.com to
do online meet registrations. The website will allow you to make your
meet declarations but it DOES NOT accept payment of the entry fees.
While we strongly encourage the use of Direct Athletics
We will also accept entries via email at
meetentry@hudsonheat.com.
Effective in the Fall of 2008 we will no longer accept paper
entries for meets.
You should receive an email from Direct Athletics with your logon and
initial password. If you deleted the email please send a note to
meetentry@hudsonheat.com to request your logon. You may want to
check your SPAM folder/filter to see if the email was mistakenly marked
as SPAM.
Complete instructions on using Direct Athletics are available on the
HEAT website at
HEAT Direct Athletics Brochure (PDF).
Please keep in mind that the deadline we establish for meet entries will
be different that the meet entry deadline on the Lake Erie Swimming
website. This gives us time to process the entries and request the check
from HCER.
For very popular meets we may establish a very early due date to help
prevent our swimmer from being shut out of a meet.
Under no circumstances should you send meet entries directly to the meet
host unless you are asked to do so by the Head Coach or Meet Entry
Secretary.
DAY OF MEET PROCEDURES
Arrive 15 minutes prior to scheduled warm up
time and find team area and coach.
Each meet session will last no more than 4
hours, many lasting 2-3 hours plus warm up. All swimmers will warm up
together as a team under coach's supervision.
Wear HEAT team suit and cap during all
competitions. If you're attending a meet you are required to be
available for relays whether they are at the beginning or end of a meet.
Relay selection is done at the meet and is
at the coach's discretion.
Always let a coach know before getting
dressed and leaving the meet.
All HEAT Swimmers will conduct themselves in
a manner that brings credit to themselves, their families, and to HEAT.
Swimmers who disregard will be excluded from future meets.
