The purpose of associating to a participant is to:

- Create a 'link' to a participant that may not have a membership with your entity, to then assign purchase orders for membership, and other administrative tasks (NB. Linking does not automatically create a membership for the participant and will not meet the mandatory parent requirement (if applicable in your state/territory) ) 

- Create a 'link' to a Swimming Australia Accredited coach your entity wishes to associate with and have admin access to their profile 

NB. Upon association creation, the participant needs to accept your invite before you can access their details

Please see steps on how to associate as an admin below:

1)  Navigate to your entity's Admin Home, and the right hand menu, click on Associate

2)  From the Associates Dashboard, click on "Add Associate"

3) Type in the name or email address of the person you wish to associate to. Check the tick box and click on Next

4) Confirm the details, then click on Add 

5) The association request will be sent to the participant to action, and you will not be able to view any participant details until acceptance. From this page you have the option to delete the pending association if required.
