Returning families: Please login to your to SwimTopia account (top right). This will pull up your information from last year and help prevent duplicate accounts.

New families: Please enter all registration information and a SwimTopia account will be created for you upon completion of registration. YourSwimTopia account is where you will RSVP for swim meets, sign up for volunteer jobs, see your swimmer's stats, maintain contact information and so much more. We strongly recommend installing the SwimTopia app on your phone.

Age Policy: All children must be between the ages of 4-18 on June 1st, 2026. There are no exceptions.

Skill Level: We welcome swimmers at all levels. All swimmers will be assessed for skill level during the first week of practice and placed in practice groups according to skill. If you think your child needs more instruction before starting on a competitive swim team, please check out swim lessons and other resources on our Learn-to-Swim page. 

For legal and insurance purposes, access to the pool is strictly regulated. Please review the following guidelines carefully:

Non-Members of Hanarry Swim and Racquet Club (HSRC)

• Any individual who is not a registered member of HSRC and is not a Hanarry Hurricanes swim team member/swimmer is strictly prohibited from entering the pool at any time. This includes during practices, private lessons, and any other events.
• The only exception to this rule applies to designated swim team events that are open to the entire family. These events will be clearly communicated via email and social media.

Hanarry Hurricanes Team Members & Swimmers

• While non-HSRC members may participate as registered members of the Hanarry Hurricanes swim team, their pool access is limited strictly to scheduled team activities.
• Team members/swimmers who are not HSRC members may only enter the pool during their assigned practice times, private lessons, or officially sanctioned swim team events.
• Outside of these designated times, non-member swimmers are not permitted to use the pool for any reason.

These policies are in place to ensure the safety, liability compliance, and proper use of the facility. Any violations of this policy may result in restricted participation in team activities. Repeated violations may result in removal from the team without a refund. We appreciate your cooperation in maintaining a safe and organized environment for all swimmers and families.

Please read carefully to understand the expectations and consequences of not fulfilling your volunteer commitment. It takes 40 volunteers to run a single swim meet!

• Volunteer Requirement: At least one family member/guardian must volunteer for a minimum of four shifts during the course of the season. A shift typically covers half of a meet, depending on the role. Exception: If your child is a Stormchaser (non-competitive group), you are NOT required to volunteer during meets.
• Check-In: Volunteers must check in on time with the Hurricanes' Volunteer Coordinator at the designated table before the start of each meet to receive credit for their shift.
• Penalty for Unfulfilled Commitments: If you do not sign up for at least four shifts, or if you sign up but fail to provide a volunteer for your shift, you will be charged a penalty fee at the end of of the season.
• Finding a Replacement: If you are unable to fulfill a shift, it is your responsibility to find a replacement. Contact the Volunteer Coordinator immediately with any changes. Our private Facebook group includes a “Rent-A-Teen” program, where teenagers are available to work shifts for payment.
• Volunteer Roles & Training: Please see our Volunteers  page for descriptions of the roles we need to fill during meets. We will offer training for certain roles (like Stoke and Turn judges). Please talk to our volunteer coordinator or council if you have questions about which role is right for you! 

Your support is essential in making our swim season a success—thank you for being part of the team!

For more information on our volunteer roles check out our volunteer roles descriptions: Volunteers page.

All team members and parents are expected to be orderly, courteous, and show good sportsmanship during practices, meets, and at any team-related function. Any inappropriate behavior may constitute cause for dismissing a swimmer from practice or a meet, or be sent home from a team function or possible suspension or dismissal from the team.

Swimmers should always:

• Demonstrate good sportsmanship
• Show respect for coaches and teammates
• Represent their team with pride
• Come to practice and meets prepared with appropriate attire and equipment
• Actively participate and be willing to try new and difficult things
• Clean up after yourself

Parents should:

• RSVP your swimmer for meets in advance 
• Sign up for your Volunteer Jobs and show up on time and ready 
• Let coaches know at the beginning of practice/meet if a swimmer must leave early 
• Clean up any personal trash or items at practices, meets, or any other Swim Team events
• Please do not approach coaches during practice or meets. If you need to discuss something, wait until after practice or schedule a time to meet
• For Non HSRC Members, please remember the Pool Access policy

• Practices and meets may continue in the rain but will be delayed due to lightning risks. 
• If the weather is questionable, please stay nearby - typically wait in your car for updates - or arrange for prompt pickup in case of cancellation. 
• You may pick up your child at any time if you feel conditions are unsafe.
• Weather-related cancellations will be communicated via our News page, private Facebook group, and email.
• In the event of severe/hazardous weather, meets will be canceled
• Per GCSL policy, canceled meets will be rescheduled within four days.

Swimmer and family safety is our top priority!
