THE PYRAMID

The USA Swimming pyramid is a visual manifestation of the organization’s priority to be recognized as a best-in-class NGB. Not only should USA Swimming be world class for its own members, but we should also be a positive influence and make significant contributions to the sport of swimming across the entire country.
 
 
As the preeminent organization for the sport of swimming in the U.S., we have the opportunity to influence and architect the development of the sport for all swimmers. We should, and we will, embrace the responsibility to grow the sport. We recognize the importance of each level of the pyramid and continue to search for ways to strengthen areas that aren’t directly governed by USA Swimming.

CLUBS / TEAMS

Clubs/Teams are the heart of USA Swimming. Without a strong club system, we would not be able to develop our athletes to reach their highest potential. We have over 2,700 clubs, servicing 380,000+ members.
