Registering for USA Swimming

What is USA Swimming?

USA Swimming is the national governing body for competitive swimming in the United States. It oversees the sport at all levels, from local swim clubs to the Olympic team. USA Swimming is responsible for setting rules, promoting the sport, supporting and developing swimmers and coaches, and organizing competitions across the country. The organization is also involved in athlete safety and provides resources for swim clubs and parents.

All swimmers must be registered for USA swimming to participate in any of the season’s swim meets.

How do I register?

To complete your registration, visit the USA Swimming Registration Page. If you’re a returning swimmer, you can log in using your account from last year. If you’re new, click the “Create Login” button to set up your account.
