As VPSC is a competitive swim club, it is the expectation that swimmer are attending majority of the swim meets assigned to their group.

You can find the next three month's swim meets on our front page. The full list of meets can be found on our Meet and Events page (sign in required). Click on the name of the meet for specific meet information such as: declaration deadline, who qualifies, location, and the meet package.

Swimmers are expected to attend all the meets assigned to their group. It is the responsibility of families to accept/decline before the meet deadline.

Under Meet and Events, select the specific meet and go to the declaration.

Under Meets & Events, click “Accept/Decline” on the right side of the specific event you want to decline and select “Declined” then click “Submit”. 

If you are only wishing to declining from one day of a multi-day meet, please write this under “Declaration notes” and email the Lead coach for your group.

Email the Lead Coach of your swimmers group, please see the Communication Structure.

Any scratches after the scratch deadline will require a medical note to get a refund.

  1. If your swimmer is unable to attend a meet for a medical reason, please advise the club as soon as possible - preferably before the start date of the meet.
  2. If the club’s internal ‘decline’ deadline has passed, and if you provided notification prior to the start date of the meet per 1. above or if your swimmer becomes ill during a meet, you will have 14 days to present a doctor’s note confirming your swimmer’s illness, after which you will be charged meet entry fees. Note meet administration fees will not be refunded.
  3. VPSC will do its best to get associated meet costs (i.e. travel, hotel etc.) refunded, but the outcome will be determined on a case by case basis.
