Non-Athlete Membership

You make a difference in the life of a swimmer! We want all non-athlete members - coaches, officials, Local Swimming Committee (LSC) board members, club board members/employees, club administrators, and volunteers - to get the most out of your USA Swimming membership.

Every non-athlete, regardless of the membership type, receives the following benefits:

Resources to help clubs grow, engage, retain, and perform.
Best in-class insurance coverage.
Free financial advice for coaches and officials from OneAmerica.
A commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
Annual subscription to USA Swimming’s feature publication, Splash Magazine.
Exclusive offers from partners and sponsors.

Each membership requires a USA Swimming fee and an LSC fee. The LSC fees help support local programming, training, and competition opportunities for athletes, coaches, and volunteers.
