USA Swimming Registration Fall/Winter 2025-26

Dion Erbes

All Tigersharks whom are non-current USA Swimming members need to be 2026 USA Swimming registered, ASAP.

Register for this membership through USA Swimming’s website (see links below). All members will need to set up a USA Swimming account, if they haven't already done so. For swimmers under the age of 18, parents need to first set up a parent account and then set up their swimmer(s) under the parent account. The information below will hopefully help you be able to do this. We have heard that this is not a smooth process, so please ask if you need help. We will do our best to answer your questions. 

New swimmers do not need a swimmer ID, as you will get one when you sign-up for USA Swimming registration. Returning swimmers, your swimmer ID number can be found by logging into your member area of our website or the USA Swimming Website. If you are not able to locate it, please let Dion know, [email protected]. 

First, Set up a family account or Login to your family account: Here's the link to the Online Member Registration to set up a parent or swimmer (18 & Older) account.

Then, use the link to the right to register your swimmer: Use this Tigersharks link to the 2026 USA Swimming Registration. If you know you qualify for assistance (free and reduced lunch), please let Dion know and he will get you the link to be able to register at a reduced fee. 

When registering for USA Swimming there are different categories to register for, you should register for Premium Athlete, $83.00 (good through 12/31/2026). DO NOT SIGN-UP FOR FLEX! If you sign-up for the flex membership, you will have to upgrade to PREMIUM when you sign up for a third meet between now and the end of 2026. This year, MNSI is having USA Swimming collect the LSC portion of the fees. This $8 LSC fee in included in the $83. If you signed up for FLEX (even though you weren't supposed to), the MNSI fee is $10. 

  1. If transferring from another club, a $5 transfer fee payment will be billed to your account. 
  2. Any family on free or reduced lunch only owes $5.00 for their annual USA Swimming Registration, with proof of free or reduced lunch. A special link is needed for this. For this link, please contact Dion, [email protected]. 

If you need help at all with this process, please bring a device to the pool so Dion can assist you.
