I have requested a password reset email but i have not received it, what do i do?

If you have not recieved your password reset email within 30 minutes of requesting it check your 'junk' or 'spam' inboxes as your email provider may have filtered it into one of these folders.

When I log into my profile the "MyPortal" section is blank, why is this?

Can a swimmer enter meets using Not-Approved times?

This depends on the conditions of the meet. All national meets require times that have been approved for qualification. Some regions require only approved times to be used for qualification into regional meets and championships. However there is a large amount of meets that don't require approved times to be used for qualification. If you are unsure if your not approved times can be used for qualification contact the organiser of the meet.

How do I withdraw a swimmer from a meet before entries close? How will i go about getting a refund for these withdrawn entries?

Your club administrator has the ability to cancel your entries into a meet, contact them if you need to withdraw before entries close. If you are due a refund (refund policies can vary from meet to meet) contact the organiser of the meet, they will be able to help with providing refunds.

If I have met one qualifying time, can I enter a meet online and then add events in the future if I qualify for additional events?

Yes you can if you enter before the entry close off date. Once you have qualified for these exta events and the results have been uploaded to the database log back into your MyPage and follow the same steps you have previously to enter into extra events.

I have times from a short course meet but they arent coming through as qualifying times for a long course meet (or vice versa) why is this?

This may be due to the qualying type of the meet. Have a look at the meet flyer or contact the meet organiser to ensure that the meet accepts converted times. In certain circumstances only short course times can be used or only long course times can be used which may restirct your ability to enter certain events. 

I am entering into a schools meet, how do I add my school to my profile?

Follow the steps found here to add your school to your profile.

I competed in a meet overseas, why aren't the results showing against my profile?

With many swimmers competing overseas it is not practical for Swimming New Zealand to keep tabs on all swimmers and every meet they enter as entries for certain meets are not done through Swimming New Zealand. Once you have competed in a meet overseas contact Swimming New Zealand requesting that the results be added to the database. They will source the necessary files to add the results to the database.

If you require times from meets overseas to be used as qualifying times for meets in New Zealand make sure you contact Swimming New Zealand well in advance of the meet closing date so there is plenty of time for the result files to be sourced and uploaded to the SNZ Database. This process can take up to a week.
