Athlete Registration Numbers or IDs

Some teams choose to capture or assign Registration Numbers (a.k.a. Athlete Numbers or IDs) for their athletes. 

Registration Numbers can be imported from an existing Team Manager database, captured during registration, auto-assigned, or created manually. Whichever scenario fits your team, there are multiple options SwimTopia supports, viewing and downloading these numbers. 

 Note: If you are looking for information on USA Swimming Member IDs, these can no longer be manually entered or auto-assigned, and must come from the USA Swimming database. See ➞ Overview: SwimTopia and USA Swimming Teams (SWIMS 3.0)

Capturing "Athlete ID" During Registration

This field is off by default for all teams but can be enabled if you want members to enter an Athlete ID during registration. You should only turn this on if your team site is not connected to USA Swimming and you want members to enter their athlete's USA Swimming ID, or some ID your team captures.

» Note: If your team is already connected to the USA Swimming SWIMS database, that connection provides the ID already. If you do turn this on, anything entered will be ignored.

Assigning Registration Numbers

Registration numbers are not required auto-assigned by default during registration, but there are two ways you can assign a Registration Number to an athlete. 

➧ Option 1: Edit "Athlete Registration Numbers" Report

Edit the "Athlete Registration Numbers" report under the Reports tab (within the Athlete Information section) to either use the Auto-Assign button at the top, or manually enter each number. 

» Tip: You can enter an initial Registration Number, Save (at bottom), and then use "Auto-Assign" to generate additional incremental Registration Numbers based on this initial value. 

Don't forget to scroll to the bottom of the page to Save Changes!

» Note: If a user is connected to a USA Swimming Member Account, auto-assign or editing of registration numbers for those users is not allowed.

➧ Option 2: Manual Entry on Athlete Profile

Manually enter a Registration number in People > Athlete Name > Edit (top right corner within athlete profile).

Once on the edit screen, scroll down to the bottom and you will find the "Registration number" field.

» Tip: The Registration Number is not used by SwimTopia to uniquely identify athletes, or to de-duplicate athlete records. However, the Registration Number is used to match/deduplicate athletes in other meet mgmt software. For this reason, care should be taken to ensure that if a registration number is assigned that it is unique for each athlete on the team.
