This web site is driven by WordPress and depends on numerous plugins to extend the functionality to meet the requirements to run the Swim Team. Wordpress is a powerful, customizable, database driven, publishing platform. While the base WordPress software offers a significant amount of functionality, the ability to extend WordPress and customize it to suit the target application is extremely powerful.
In addition to the wp-SwimTeam plugin which provides the bulk of the functionality to support a swim team, the following is a list of the plugins which are in use to allow this web site to work as seamlessly as possible.
There are 27 plugins used: 21 active plugins and 6 inactive plugins.Active Plugins
