It’s time for everyone to take a small break from swimming and recharge their mental and physical batteries. For the next few weeks your webmaster will be on vacation and definitely NOT checking his email or this website, so don’t be surprised if nothing new is posted until late September.
www.si-swimming.com is now www.si-swimming.org! San Diego-Imperial Swimming announced today that it will be changing its website address and email address beginning Tuesday 20 April. The change will be small – only the last 3 letters of the website address (technically known as the top-level domain) will be changing – from si-swimming.com to si-swimming.org. According to an SI Swimming representative, the change ” will allow us to better reflect the non-profit status of our LSC, and place us in alignment with our parent organization, USA Swimming (usaswimming.org) Of immediate importance to those trying to contact the SI Swim Office by email, a new email address is in place: office@si-swimming.org Because the old .com website address and office email have been so widely circulated and linked to by our members, the .com address will continue to link to the new website and the old email address will continue to be monitored – at least for the next 30 days.
If you are a high school swimmer in season, you must enter your club affiliation as unattached when you enter a San Diego-Imperial Swimming/USA Swimming meet (except for national and sectional championships). It is your responsibility to be sure that this is done. For more High School swimming information, please see our High School Swimming page.
As some of you noticed, the SI Swimming website was offline yesterday as users were inexplicably forwarded to another search website. A malicious hacker had gotten into the website and changed some of the website code. The website has been restored from a backup copy and additional safeguards against unauthorized intrusion are now in place. As a result, users who had previously registered with this website will now need to login with a new password. We apologize for the inconvenience.
The Travel Reimbursement Form and related Code of Conduct Form are now available on the “Forms” page, available from the top menu of our “Admin” page.
In case you hadn’t noticed, SI Swimming is in the process of updating the look of our website. As of this post, about 70% of the old website has been converted to the new structure. The previous version of the SI website hadn’t really been changed in the past 4 years – which is almost forever in online world! In addition to changing the look of the site, we have changed the underlying software architecture to improve the performance and give all our users a more consistent experience. With so many changes being made to the website code, there are bound to be somethings we miss, forget or just plain foul up. If you find something in the site which looks strange or could be improved, please don’t hesitate to let the webmaster know by submitting a comment! |
