Club Membership

Our club membership program gives you access to best-in-class insurance protection, tools to manage your program, training resources for coaches, and much more.

Member clubs are the heart of USA Swimming, providing much-needed support to athletes through coaching and financial support. The focus and goals of our member clubs are as unique and diverse as the athletes who compete for them. Some clubs focus primarily on elite development, while others specialize in youth and development programming.

All clubs, including seasonal clubs, shall ensure that all athletes and coaches participating in practices and USA Swimming-sanctioned competitions are members of USA Swimming.
