Returning Family Registration
Returning parents there have been some changes in the 2026 swim season. Please read complete Steps 1-3 below:
1) USA SWIMMING: You previously had a USA swim login and password. Unfortunately, in Feb 2026 USA Swim updated their system. They sent an email out to all USA Swim members to login before the change. If you did not login when prompted before the change, you will need to go back and create a new login. Your account was deactivated, not deleted.
Click this link and go to Create a Login and as long as you use the same email address and the name/date of birth matches, it will locate your inactive account and you will be able to link to it. This should hopefully mean that your swimmers should still be linked to your deactivated account.
If your swimmers do not show up in your re-activated account, you will need to contact the help desk to link your swimmers to your account.Your swimmers are still in the system. If you have their USA Swim ID#, please include this in your email to the help desk.
2) As of 2026, OME/Swim Connection (the site that allows you to sign up for meets) is no longer available. All registration is now done on ome.fastswims.com. You need to create a new profile and add your swimmers. You will need your swimmer’s USA swim ID. (Need help? Try here)
***If your swimmer’s previous swim times do not sync in your new account, email [email protected] and give them both your USA Swim ID and your old OME ID, which is typically in the format of MMDDYYFFFMLLLL (month day and year of birth, first 3 letters of first name, middle initial, first 4 letters of last name).
3) Swimtopia now requires a login account to register. You will not be able to do this until registration opens. Click the green registration button above and follow the prompts to create a login. If you do not see a button, registration is not currently open. (Need help? Try here)
Discounts are available for families with 3 or more swimmers. Email [email protected] for more information.

You need to create a log in. You will receive a USA Swim Card Number. The club code for our team is SN-PRST.
3) Get an account on https://ome.fastswims.com/ to enter your swimmer into upcoming meets. OME stands for Online Meet Entry. You will need your swimmer’s USA swim ID, so make sure to register them with via Step 2 above, first. (Need help? Try here)
Your swimmer(s) “exists” in all of this electronic world with their USA Swimming Swim Card Number. Please make note of this number.
Note: Research the meets before you enter your swimmer; entry fees are not refundable. Check with the coach or other qualified team parent about which meets to enter and how if you are not sure. You can view the “meet sheet” online for information prior to entering. You can enter events and then scratch them at the meet, but again, there are no refunds.
