USA Swimming Registration

Points to remember:

  • If you, the parent, have never been a USA Swimming registered coach, official, board member, chaperone, or a USA Swimming registered athlete (swimmer) YOURSELF - you need to create a login (a Parent Account) with USA Swimming, in their SWIMS database. You are NOT making an account for your swimmer. Your swimmer will be associated with your account.
  • You are NOT registering yourself as a USA Swimming member unless required (i.e. you are a coach, official, board member, etc)

Two different membership categories are available

  • USA Swimming FLEX athlete membership ($30) - for swimmers 12 years old and younger. This membership allows a swimmer to participate in only TWO regular season meets. If your swimmer will participate in more than 2 swim meets OR a championship meet, then you should select a premium membership. If your swimmer exceeds the 2 meet limit, you will be required to upgrade their membership to a premium membership by paying an additional $58.
  • USA Swimming PREMIUM athlete membership ($88) - for swimmers of any age. This membership allows a swimmer unlimited swim meets and access to all championship level meets.
