How Do I Know My Swimmer's USA Swimming ID Number?
Here is how is an explanation of the number and how it is generated so each swimmer can figure out his/her number:
A unique 14 part number assigned to each swimmer once registered.
The first 6 digits are the swimmers birth date: mm/dd/yy; the next three letters
are the first three letters of athletes legal first name; the next letter is the middle
initial, followed by the first four letters of the swimmers last name
Example: Robert Cason Bird and born September 27, 1976 = 092776ROBCBIRD
If you do not have a middle initial or last name four letters or
longer, the missing characters are a star (*). Sylvia Cho would be mmddyysyl*cho*.
