This has been a popular option for swimmers registering between July and October, allowing them to sign up for USMS through the following year with a discounted rate for the remainder of the current year. It also benefits USMS clubs and coaches by driving awareness and giving them a simple message to pass along to new swimmers: Join now through next year for one fee. 

Prospective members will be offered the following unified individual membership options through Oct. 31:

  1. Membership through Dec. 31, 2023: $70

  2. Year-Plus membership through Dec. 31, 2024: $115

Screen shots of the registration process that includes the Year-Plus membership option will be available in July.  

How will membership fees be distributed?

LMSCs will receive 20 percent of each membership registration within their LMSC. 2023 membership fees (both single year and Year-Plus) will be distributed monthly, and the 2024 Year-Plus membership fees will be deferred and distributed in January, after the Year-Plus conversions have been completed in December. 

  • Individual membership: $14 of the $70 individual membership

  • Year-Plus membership: $9 of the $45 2023 reduced membership portion and $14 of the $70 2024 membership portion for a total of $23.

When will the Year-Plus members be converted?

At the beginning of December, we'll be converting those who selected the Year-Plus membership. When we do the conversion, the members will receive a "Welcome to USMS" email containing their membership number for 2024, discount codes from our partners, and other information about their USMS membership.

Year-Plus membership fees will be distributed and reflected in the December registration activity statements sent to LMSCs in January.
