Swimmer Registration Status in REMS – Eligibility for Swim Meets
To be eligible for swim meets, swimmers must have an ACTIVE status in REMS. This is achieved when their personal information is updated, all required waivers are signed, and all invoices are marked as paid in REMS.
Please note that the activation process may take up to three (3) weeks due to the process by which clubs pay Swim BC and Swimming Canada invoices through Swim BC. Both organizations then independently mark the invoices as paid in REMS.
