I want to set up one event that happens over 4 separate days. It is a swim lessons class that meets once a week (eg Monday at 430) over the month of October.
How do I do this so it function correctly and appear on the calendar correctly?

I would setup 4 separate events with the same information, either manually or via REM.
Then on Swim class 2, 3 & 4 setup the ‘Alternative Registration Page’ to be Swim Class 1’s registration page. To do this look on the right hand side of those 3 events, in Event Options. Second field from the bottom. http://d.pr/i/yXVN Input the full url for Swim Class 1 into that box.
This way although there are 4 events, all ‘swimmers’ are actually signing up to class 1 which ever class they click on.

I just did that and it didn’t work. It has them registered for the first class only but not the next 4.
Is there an easier way to do this? Is this something event espresso can do for me via the “tokens”?
I basically want the customer to pay one time for 4 to 6 classes, be registered in those classes and be done with it. I want those events to show up properly on the specified days on the calendar so my customers know when the classes are. I also want to use this same functionality to set up a swim team schedule where they register for the team and the practices are listed accordingly.

The way that Tony described is what we have found to be the best way to handle that type of situation. You would use the registration list of the first class as the “master” list for all the classes in the series. The only other alternative is to use the Multiple Event Registration add-on, and have an add-to-cart button that adds all the events in the series to the cart at once. But then you would have to spread the cost of the combined events over all the events (if it’s $5 for the series of 5 events, then each would be $1 in the cart). Otherwise, you would have some of the events in the series with no cost on them. And the user would have the option in the cart to remove some of the events in the series. That’s part of the reason why we’ve found that the method Tony described has been the best solution.
