United States Masters Swimming is run primarily by a diverse group of hardworking volunteers with one thing in common: a love for their sport. Taking care of the needs of over 48,000 swimmers nationwide can be a very demanding task. The purpose of this section is twofold. First, this is the place for swimmers to look for who to contact with any administrative questions, and for the curious to look to see how USMS is organized. Secondly, this area is intended to provide ready access to information and tools required by our volunteers who are tending to the administrative needs of USMS throughout the country.

Most questions that swimmers have regarding USMS (those not already answered by the FAQ ), can usually be addressed to the National Office. For questions that are specific to one area of the USMS governing structure (for example, top 10, records, registration), try looking at the USMS organization and contacting a representative of the appropriate committee. For recent information regarding the administration of USMS, check out the latest copy of Streamlines ... from the National Office. This section also provides information on our annual convention and minutes from key meetings held throughout the year. For information on USMS administration at the local level, check the Local Programs area.
