Locate Family

    Since we are constantly moving swimmers, it is possible that the spreadsheet does not match the live account. Here, you can also compare waitlist notes to see if they are valid or if we need to ask more questions.
    Note it will also pull WL with an end date since the FD cannot delete enrollments.
