1. To enter an upcoming meet, first you'll need to download the meet announcement, which I have attached to this email.

2. You will select your events, and email your entries to (makoentries@yahoo.com).  Please include the name of the meet, your swimmer's first and last name, their age on the first day of the meet,  event numbers, and name of event.  If you are *NEW* MAKOS, please provide your swimmers best short course yard times for each event. *RETURNING* MAKOS entry times will come from our team database*. If they have no times for a particular event, I will simply enter them with a "NT" and they will be seeded accordingly.

See example:
3. Once you've emailed your entries, within 24-48 hours, you will receive an email stating "Entries Received".  

4. Please print the confirmation email, and retain for your records.

5. ***MOST IMPORTANTLY*** Following the meet entry deadline, I will email the *draft* entries for the meet to all Mako families. Swimmers and/or parents must check these draft entries to determine if your swimmer is entered correctly. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT THESE DRAFT ENTRIES ARE CORRECT. If your swimmer is not listed on the draft entries, then I have (likely) not received your entries. Mako will not be responsible for any deck entries, once the entries are finalized. If you find an error in the draft entries, or if your swimmer is not listed, please email Coach Heather immediately at (makoentries@yahoo.com).

The coaches determine who will swim relays for MAKO. Relays do not count in the total events a swimmer may swim in a day.

6. After the due date, I will then send out an email with our teams *final* entries.

7. Once the entries are sent in to the Meet Director, no changes can be made. All issues must be addressed before the deadline to fix any problems found in the draft entries.

8. Entry fees are deducted from your Meet Escrow Fund (M.E.F), and a .25 cent surcharge will be applied to each individual entry.  You are financial responsible for ALL entries -- regardless of actual participation.  Any late entries, (those sent in AFTER the original due date) will be assessed a flat $5.00 fee which is deducted from your M.E.F.

Invoices for your swimming dues were emailed in December 2009, and were due no later than last Friday, January 15, 2010.  If you have not yet sent in your payment, please do so immediately to avoid the $20 late fee.  If we do not receive payment by Friday, January 22, your child will no longer be able to enter GMU for practices. Please email me if you have any questions. Thank you for your prompt attention.
