Updated over 6 months ago

If your membership database is stored in a format other than .CSV or SDIF, or if you are a part of Swim Canada or Swim England, please click here for instructions on how to transfer the data for import.

Membership Import File Requirements

To have a successful import, please ensure your spreadsheet (either .CSV or .XLS) includes the following:

  • A unique ID associated with the athlete.

    • Required, even for inactive athletes, to connect the athlete to their meet results.

    • If using Team Manager™, choose USS in your Team/Team Registration settings to generate the ID.

  • Athlete's First, Middle (complete or initial), and Last Name

    • If the athlete has no middle name, use an asterisk (*).

  • Athlete's Birthdate

  • Athlete's Gender

  • At least one parent's First and Last Name (for active athletes)

  • At least one parent's Email(for active athletes)

    • The email address creates a login.

    • Please note that Team Manager™ automatically uses the father's information as the primary. If you prefer to have another parent as primary, please email your onboarding coach and let us know.

  • Address (optional)

  • Phone number (optional)

Results Import File Requirements

Typically, Results data exports into a .ZIP file, which contains .CL2 or .HY3 files. To have a successful import, please ensure that your file contains:

  • The athlete's unique ID to match the results to the athlete.

  • Gender

  • Results (Splits/Relays for Swim)
