The Club uses Team App as tool for swimmers to register their details and ‘sign in’ to Saturday race meetings and provide updates and information to swimmers.
We’ve made a few changes to the system over winter so please take some time to reacquaint yourself with the system and familiarize yourself with the new features.
If you’re new to Team App or to the Club see below some key bits of information about how to get set up and use the system.
If this all seems a little daunting don’t worry, it is easy to use once you get the hang of it.
If you have any questions about this please text Adrian for assistance.

Team App is a popular application used by many local community sporting clubs. If you already use Team App for another sporting club, you can use your existing account and join ‘Drummoyne Swimming Club‘.
Important: When registering details in Team App, please enter your actual date of birth (eg. not 1/1/1992 unless you were born on New Year’s Day) and your name in proper case, to be used for age grouping, point scoring, carnivals, trophy engraving and official Club certificates:
- Enter full first name and last name (not middle name) in correct upper/lower case,
eg. “John Smith” (not “john smith”, “John SMITH”, “John”, “J Smith” or “John Edward Smith”) - If last name is two or more words then enter first name and last name separated by spaces in correct upper/lower case, eg. “Richard van Dyke”, where last name is “van Dyke”.
Parents and guardians can register details for themselves and their children or dependants. At each Saturday race meet you can separately sign in yourself (if you wish to swim) and each of your children/dependants.
Follow these steps to set up Team App on your phone or computer:
- Download Team App to your phone or open the Team App website on your computer

- Wait for your request to join to be approved by one of our administrators (we will try to respond promptly to new requests, but please be patient if your request is outside of standard Club hours)

(Note that payment of Club fees is done separately here). - Wait for the free trial registrations for your children or dependants to be approved by one of our administrators (we will try to respond promptly to new registrations, but please be patient if your request is outside of standard Club hours).
- Once your registrations have been approved, each Saturday go to the Events page in Team App to sign-in you and your children/dependants who wish to swim in races that morning.

8. Entering Time Trials and Races at Saturday Race Meets
To learn more about our Saturday racing format and rules, click here.
When you sign in to a Saturday morning race meet on Team App, you registering your attendance at the Club. Each week we hold three race events:
- Sprint race (20m, 30m, 50m or 100m freestyle)
- Form Stroke race (breaststroke, backstroke or butterfly – 20m, 30m, 50m or 100m)
- Long Distance race (freestyle or medley, 4x20m, 4,30m, 200m or 400m)
Refer to our Calendar for details of the races held each week.
When you arrive at the Club on Saturday morning, you will need to separately advise our Race Technicians in the Judges Box which events you would like to enter for that day.
Once you’ve been at the Club for a few weeks, we will automatically enter you into events that you have swum before, unless you tell us otherwise.
In your first few weeks, before we enter you into a race against other swimmers, we first need you to complete a Time Trial in order to record the time it takes you to swim that event (stroke and distance) in our race computer. After you have completed a Time Trial for an event, at the next race meet in which we hold that event, our computer will match up you against swimmers of a similar pace and enter you into a race against those swimmers with handicapped (staggered) start times based on your current race time.
In your first few weeks at the Club you will need to verbally advise our Race Technicians in the Judges Box which Time Trial events you would like to enter. Once you have completed your Time Trial for an event we will enter you into future races for that event automatically.
