Q1: I don't plan on competing in USA Swimming meets, why do I need to register?
A1: USA Swimming Flex Athlete Member Registration covers your swimmer and the club under their insurance. This is a condition of our club's membership. Athletes without an active membership will not be allow to practice or participate in meets.
The only exception is in regards to our Special Olympics Athletes: All SO athletes over 8yrs of age are required to have all medical release and SO paperwork filled out to ensure adequate coverage. SO athletes over 8yrs of age are NOT required to register with USA Swimming. SO athletes under 8yrs of age are required to obtain USA membership.
