    Reminder - ASA Championship Now Observed Meet for Georgia Swimming

    ASA Championship Now Observed Meet for Georgia Swimming

    June 22, 2023

    Teams,

    A reminder from an e mail last week about our championship having observed status with USA Swimming. One important reminder, USA Swimming changed their swimmer ID protocols this past year, all swimmer ID numbers were changed this past fall. If you had your swimmer's ID numbers in Swimtopia prior to this season, you will want to check and confirm their ID numbers are correct, the old ID numbers are no longer recognized by Georgia Swimming and times affiliated with the old ID numbers will not be recognized as valid times when submitted to USA swimming. This does not impact non USA Swimming club swimmers, but does impact current club swimmers who would like to have those times be recognized. Reminders on how to input those USA Swimming ID numbers are below.

    FROM June 15

    I hope your seasons are progressing well. We are excited about the upcoming ASA Championship at Georgia Tech, June 28-30. An added feature to this year’s meet is that the meet will have observed status with Georgia Swimming. A special thank you to Georgia Swimming and Heather Boyer for her help on making this a reality. This means that any of your year-round swimmers with a current USS registration with their club team will be able to use their times for qualification purposes at the USS level. If you have swimmers who fall into this category you must do the following before you submit you championship entries for those times to be used for that purpose.

    Go to your Swimotpia Page and select People

    Find the athlete you want to update and select them.

    Click on the Edit button to add their USS Number

    Select Update to save your changes.

    Please see the pictures below for details


    We are happy to have this as an added part of our championship meet. I know this applies to a limited number of swimmers; but is an important thing for them. Please make sure you take the steps needed so their times can be used for this purpose, it only has to be done once as it should remain with that swimmer each year. Please let me know if you have any questions about this.

    Thanks again,
