Anyone else banging their head against the wall trying to register for meets through OME Swim Connection? It feels like this platform hasn’t been updated in decades, and it absolutely does not meet the needs of swim parents today.
A couple of the big pain points: • Email issue: If you’re using a Gmail or iCloud account, you’ll never get your confirmation emails. The only way around it? You literally have to make a Yahoo account. It’s 2025 and I’m being forced back into Yahoo Mail just to sign up my kid for a swim meet. • Weird “workarounds”: There are these unofficial “tips and tricks” parents pass around because the site just doesn’t function logically. For example, don’t select your swimmer info right away. If you skip it and let the system pre-populate later, it’s more likely to work. Otherwise, the site errors out.
It’s just so frustrating because swim parents are juggling enough already, and registration should be the easiest part. Instead, we’re all trading hacks like we’re trying to break into a 1999 computer program.
I honestly don’t understand why anyone hasn’t invested in a modern, parent-friendly system. Families deserve something functional, not a scavenger hunt of outdated tricks.
Curious—what other “secret workarounds” have you learned just to get through OME Swim Connection?
