ST. CROIX SWIM CLUB REGISTRATION
Welcome to SCSC! Please follow the step below to register with our team.
1. Before you join our team, please talk to our head coach, Olga Espinosa, to check on space availability.
2. With Olga's approval, contact our registrar, Michelle Olson, by email (click on her name at left). Give Michelle the following information: first and last name of primary adult contact, swimmer’s first, middle, and last name, swimmer’s birthday, swimmer’s gender, swimmer’s preferred name, email addresses, complete billing address, home phone number, the SCSC group your child will be starting in. Michelle will activate an online account for you, and send you an email with your family’s password.
3. Once you have your password, sign-in to your account, and change your password by clicking on the "Change Pswd" (yellow key symbol) below the blue toolbar.
4. After changing your password, click on "My Account" on the left, and update all of your family’s personal and billing information. Be sure that all email addresses are accurate, as well as emergency contact information. Also, while in your account, click on your swimmer’s name to update all information in the Member/Athlete Profile.
5. If you are transferring to SCSC from another swim club, you will need to download and print the TRANSFER FORM. The completed transfer form, along with a check made out to SCSC for $5, should be delivered in person or mailed to the registrar, Michelle Olson, on or before your swimmer’s first day in the water. Contact Michelle for her mailing address.
6. Unless you know you are currently registered with MSI because you are transferring from another swim team, YOU NEED TO REGISTER WITH MSI. To register with MSI, please download and print the MSI REGISTRATION FORM. The completed MSI form, along with a check made out to SCSC for $55, should be delivered in person or mailed to the registrar, Michelle Olson, on or before your swimmer’s first day in the water. Contact Michelle for her mailing address. An explanation of MSI registration can be found below. IF YOU ARE REGISTERING WITH MSI BETWEEN MARCH 10 AND AUGUST 6, 2011, YOU MAY COMPLETE A SEASONAL MSI FORM AND MAIL A CHECK FOR $34. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT WITH A SEASONAL MSI REGISTRATION, YOUR SWIMMER IS ONLY COVERED UNTIL AUGUST 5, AND WILL NOT BE COVERED FOR THE ZONE MEET.
7. On the left tool bar, go to "Setup Auto Pay". Follow the instuctions for setting up automatic payments from your checking account. Be sure to click on "Save Changes". It will take a couple of weeks for your Auto Pay option to go into effect. Therefore, for your first SCSC session, please pay the session fee by check. Your check should be made out to SCSC, and delivered in person or mailed to treasurer Robert Jacobs. Contact Robert for his mailing address.
8. In the future, you will be able to make payments with the Auto Pay option you set up. The Electronic Fund Transfer will occur on or after the 1st of each month. If you have any questions about fees, please contact the treasurer, Robert Jacobs.
What is MSI Registration, and why do I have to do it?
Each year, all athletes associated with a USA swim team must register with their LSC (local swim committee). In Minnesota, our LSC is Minnesota Swimming, Inc., also known as MSI. Registering with MSI provides insurance for athletes when at practices or meets associated with a USA team, such as St. Croix Swim Club. Registering with MSI is mandatory for all athletes, regardless of your own family’s insurance policies.
When you register with MSI using a year-round registration form, your registration will expire on December 31 of the registration year. For example, if you are registering in the fall of 2009, you actually are completing a 2010 registration form, and your registration won’t expire until 12/31/10. If, however, you register in the spring or summer of a particular year and complete a seasonal application, your registration expires immediately after the summer long-course state meet.
One other thing, when you pay for your MSI registration, part of the fee goes to USA swimming, and part of the fee goes to MSI, but none of the fee goes to St. Croix Swim Club.
Please follow the directions above, and contact St. Croix Swim Club’s registrar Michelle Olson if you have any questions on the registration process. Remember, checks for MSI registration should be made out to SCSC, and your registration form/payment should be given to Michelle. Do not mail MSI forms or payments directly to MSI.
