How to Sign-Up for Club Meets

You may have noticed a new button in the sidebar of the website – a swim meet sign-up button. South DM Swimming uses online meet sign-ups to make signing your child up for meets easy and convenient. With online meet sign-ups, you can sign up whenever you want during the sign-up timeframe. This means we don’t have to spend valuable practice time do it. Plus – we get an electronic record of everything, making it quicker on our end too.

Club Meet Sign-Ups
Signing up for meets is very easy. You simply go to the Club Swimming drop-down item and pick the Club Meet Sign-Up button. Once on the sign-up page, choose your swimmers appropriate age form by clicking the link, type the needed information and hit submit! Be sure you sign up within the designated timeframes found on the Practice & Meet Schedules page to the right of the meet schedule. More detailed instructions are within the sign-up process itself. Coaches review the entries to form relays so we don’t sign anyone up who won’t be there. If you’re new and wondering what your child should swim, we recommend short distance freestyle and backstroke events.

USA Meet Sign Ups
We know some of our club swimmers are also individual members of USA Swimming. There are swim meets held around the Des Moines Metro that are open to USA Swimmers. To register, you’ll need to register individually through the online portal and swim “unattached” unless you are also part of another official USA Swim team. For more information you can explore the USA Swimming website for Iowa, known as Iowa Swimming. They also have a Facebook page.
