Website Report

This has been a quiet year in terms of website enhancements, although the continuing increase in the number of swimmers entering internal, inter-club and external competitions has kept me on my toes with getting results published.  Many thanks to all those who carefully read the results and let me know my (many) errors.  I remind everyone that to access results pages and to use the online facilities for entering internal competitions or responding to gala you are required to have a member’s login, so if you don’t already have access, please fill in the form on the website by following the ‘Password’ link on the left hand side of the main page of the site. There is also a link to the form on the login pages for

both Gala Selections and Club Champs/Time Trials.

Also a reminder that if you already have a login but subsequently have an additional child join the club, let me know so I can add them to those associated with your login – this will save last minute panic when you find you cannot enter everyone in club champs with the closing date looming.

A minor irritant this year has been people using the ‘Feedback’ link at the bottom of all the Teamopolis related pages of our website to ask questions about gala start times and other items that may need a prompt response. All such requests come through to me although I am often not the correct recipient. Generally it would be better if you go to the ‘Contact Us’ page (link on left hand panel of website) where you will find e-mail links to specific people / roles – this will help ensure your question gets to the correct person (e.g. the team manager) directly rather relying on me to act as a forwarding service, which could mean the answer arrives too late.

Finally, my annual plea to everyone to visit the website regularly. The website is an important means of communicating information to all our members on a variety of topics. In particular, we make use of the splash page for important news items which often need to be relayed at short notice (e.g. a pool closure causing cancellation of swim sessions). The calendar is also updated regularly with details of gala dates and venues (for which there is generally a link showing the address or postcode for your Sat Nav) so we would encourage you to visit on a regular basis to keep abreast of what is going on.
