[3] 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 atttendance 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 Registrar:

[5] 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.
