WMST Announcements this
week:
[1] 2010 USMS
Registration: Every WMST member must renew before
December 31st! Only those swimmers
who renew their 2010 registration by
January 1 will be on the coaches attendance sheet
for
January. The Natatorium policy is for our
swimmers to be USMS registered since it is our insurance
against accidents. If you are not on the roster
on January 1, you will not be allowed to swim at
a practice until you have proof of your 2010
USMS registration.
For those swimmers who joined WMST
prior to November 1, unfortunately, you must also
renew your
USMS membership, since only the 2009
registration was offered before that date.
To renew your registration for
USMS for 2010 please visit
http://www.gulfmastersswimming.org/registration.html
and choose the online registration option
Alternatively, you can visit the WMST website
www.wmst.net and go to the USMS Renew
tab
and follow the instructions.
For those swimmers who prefer the paper system
of USMS registration, please download and
print out this 2010 form to send to the Gulf

[4] PUNCH CARD
Swimmers: Due to issues surrounding "missed"
punches on punch cards for those swimmers who forget their
punch card or do not have punches remaining on their card, WMST is implementing
a new system using a sign-in
sheet.
WMST policy has always been that anyone on a
PUNCH CARD system should expect to pay the drop-in
fee of $8.00 when they do not have their punch
card. For those who do not have cash to pay the
drop-in fee, the coaches now have a sign-in
sheet that a Punch Card user can sign, authorizing
WMST to charge the drop-in fee of $8.00 to the
swimmer's account.
