On-Line Registration

The Westlake Village Swim Team uses Active Swim Manager (a web-based team management service) to register swimmers and volunteers each season.  Here is some important information about WOW online registration hosted at www.active.com:

• If you don’t remember your Active password from last summer, do not register as a new user.  Instead, enter your e-mail address and click on “forgot your password.”  A new password will be sent to your email account.
• If you are new to Active and WOW, start by signing in as a New User.
• As you are registering, add a “Secondary Contact” if you want someone in addition to the Primary Contact to receive WOW e-mails through the Active.com system.
• Parents are highly encouraged to sign up for volunteer positions as part of registration.  See below for a list of positions and brief descriptions.
• Please note that Swimmer Code of Conduct Acknowledgement and Media Release Authorization have been added to the registration process.  If you have any questions about either policy, please contact Tina Huber (twirltina@aol.com) for assistance.
• You can register as many swimmers as needed, but will be asked about one swimmer at a time.
• Registration fees for the second and subsequent swimmers in a family are at a discount price.
  – If you are registering more than one swimmer: when you finish the first registration on the “Review cart & check out” screen, look to the right of “ORDER DETAILS” and above the dark blue line for a blue link [+Add Another Registration]. 
  – Click on this button and you will brought back to start another registration.
  – Repeat as necessary until you see all of your swimmers listed under “ORDER DETAILS” on the “Review cart & check out” screen.  Then move on to “Payment Options.”
• You have two payment choices: Pay in full at point of purchase or pay later via check to the WOW Treasurer, Susan Patterson.  Should you choose to pay later, it is expected that you will provide payment ASAP.
• Active.com is a commercial site.  You do not have to sign up for or buy any products that they are offering or promoting including but not limited to magazines.
• If you have questions, problems or concerns about registration or while registering, please e-mail Scott Decker (wowdatamanager@gmail.com) for assistance.
