Non Athlete Member
Coaches of Pacific Swimming clubs, deck officials, and meet directors at swim meets sanctioned by Pacific Swimming must be non-athlete members of Pacific Swimming.

To become a non-athlete member of Pacific Swimming, send a completed copy of the current Pacific Swimming/USA Swimming non-athlete membership application form to the address on the form. Any questions, call (925) 686-1286. You complete this single application form to join both USA Swimming and Pacific Swimming. Your membership must be renewed each calendar year.

Effective February 15, 2011, all Pacific/USA Swimming non-athlete members must complete a USA Swimming background check in order to join or to continue as non-athlete members of Pacific/USA Swimming. The following link will take you to a page on the USA Swimming website with details about the updated background check requirements and a link to initiate the background check process.

To become a coach member of USA Swimming and Pacific Swimming, or to renew your coach membership, you must also provide proof that you have completed CPR, first aid, and safety training classes. Follow this link for a list of courses which satisfy these requirements, and this link for a list of Safety Training for Coaches providers serving Pacific Swimming. In addition, all coaches of USA Swimming clubs, including seasonal clubs, who are registering for the first time as coach members will need to complete USA Swimming coach education requirements prior to receiving their coach membership for the second year.

In addition to becoming non-athlete members of USA Swimming and Pacific Swimming, individuals interested in becoming deck officials should contact their zone officials chairman for more information on training programs. Copies of the non-athlete membership application form are also available from zone officials chairmen.
