The start of something extraordinary

Registration

All competitive swimmers must be registered with Swimming New Zealand - this costs $85 for a year, from April to the end of March the following year.  Wharenui registers each club member as soon as they start competing.  A registration number will be generated that is unique to the swimmer and is used as identification for every meet.

 

Example: WHASJA010988

WHA - Club = Wharenui

SJA - Name = Smith, James Andrew (Z if no second name)

010988 - DOB = 6 digit birthday, in order of day, month, year

 

In meet programmes you may see the initials CB added to your swimmer's registration number (e.g. WHACBSJA010988) where the CB has been added to show the swimmers regional affiliations (Canterbury West Coast).  Other common regional abbreviations seen in Canterbury meet programmes include OT (Otago), NM (Nelson Marlborough) and SL (Southland).
