Membership FAQs

A U.S. Masters Swimming membership allows an athlete to practice with local Masters Swimming programs and participate in USMS-sanctioned meets while receiving membership benefits that include 1000's of searchable online workouts, a subscription to SWIMMER magazine, the STREAMLINES newsletter, inclusion in the USMS national times database, discounts from USMS partners, insurance coverage, and eligibility to qualify for and compete in USMS National Championship events.

A yearly membership also includes access to more than 2,600 USMS-certified coaches, a network of 1,500 Masters swim clubs and workout groups, written practices tailored to what you’re training for, and fitness tracking through an integration with Swim.com or our Fitness Log.

The fastest way to become a member is on our Member Registration page. Once the registration process is completed, you can print or add your membership card to your digital wallet and start using your membership immediately to register for meets and take advantage of your My Account section which includes discounts from our partners.

A USMS membership fee consists of a national fee and a Local Masters Swimming Committee (LMSC) fee.

When you become a member of USMS, in addition to registering with a club or workout group or as an unattached swimmer, you also become a member of your Local Masters Swimming Committee (LMSC). Your LMSC is a regional governing body that provides certain benefits to USMS members, event sanctions, newsletters about activities within the LMSC, websites, awards and recognition, and social activities. Your LMSC officers are local volunteers, sit on USMS national committees, and vote on policies that set the overall direction for USMS.

To learn more check out our LMSC information page.

Membership fees are used toward making an investment in expanded programs, services, and membership benefits. These include an improved Workout Library, more sanctioned events, more local club swimming opportunities, an enhanced digital Community, more training courses for coaches, member clinics throughout the country, stroke development clinics for swimmers, a digital version of SWIMMER magazine, a College Club Swimming program, Adult Learn-to-Swim classes, and more member discounts and offers.

USMS membership is based on a calendar year period (January-December). However, the registration year starts on Nov. 1 of the current year for the following year. If you join in Nov. or Dec. of the current year, you can get the reminder of the current year and until Dec. 31 of the following year.

All memberships have a no-refund/cancel/deferment/transfer policy.
