Registration 2012 !

Practice Schedule
Spring: May 21st - June 8th
Summer: June 11th - July 27th

We now offer online registration. As there are many questions regarding the registration process, we are now devoting a page to answering question and providing instructions. This is the earliest we have provided this level of detail for the team, but many people are very anxious to make plans for their kids for the 2012 seasons.

How to register


This year Covington is taking to the internet to have people register. While some confusion occurred early on, we would like everyone to register electronically using the "Constant Contact" service. You will be directed there to enter all of your registration information. Using this process allows us to eliminate any possible errors in the entering of the registration information.

A very important part of this registration process is how to contact you and has been a difficult point in the past. Therefore, you get to enter your email address without worrying about it being entered properly.

Once the electronic registration is complete, mail in the completed registration provided and you will now entered into the system. you will be notified once our registration process is complete. Please note, registrations are not final until payment is received. This means you are holding a place, but payment must be received shortly after registration. This allows us to be sure we allow as many people to the program as possible (we do not like to turn away eager swimmers...)!

To register, please go to the
registration site (at Constant Contact).

Things to Consider

As we are introducing a new system, there are a few items that we need to keep clear:

  • You may register all children on 1 form
  • We are processing all payments by check only.
  • Once you have completed your registration online, please submit your payment via check to the P.O. Box listed below.
  • You may put multiple registration fees on a single check.
  • For returning swimmers, please be sure to indicate the group that you were previously placed in (last summer).
  • For new swimmers, please be sure to attend one of our evaluation sessions (above).
  • We will be accepting paper registrations, found here. We prefer, however, that you use our new online registration form. In addition, your registration will be processed immediately if you use the online option, whereas the snail-mail registration forms will be processed as we receive them in the mail.
  • Mailing instructions are on the form, but mailing address is also listed here:

FAQ


Q: We have several kids and lots of other activities. Do you know of any carpools.
A: Getting your kids to and from the pool is up to you. That said we are certain you are not the only one in need. Come to the introduction meeting and see if you can find other parents who can share this task with you.

Q: Swimmer evaluations are listed for summer but not spring. When are the spring evaluations?
A: The spring season is very short. Due to the short season and the lower volume of swimmers, we perform swimmer evaluations at the beginning of the season during practice. Please read the Practice Groups page to better understand the appropriate level for your swimmer.
Thank you and welcome to Covington’s 2012 season. We look forward to another successful summer, and we will see you at the pool!
