Club Registration
|  The registration year began November 1 and we saw nearly 700 clubs register. However, there are still clubs that haven't registered.
Please note that in order for a member to register for a club, the club MUST be registered. If a member registers online, clubs that are not registered for 2011 will not be listed on the drop-down list and members will not be able to register for those clubs.
As you can imagine, this causes quite a bit of confusion for members (and stress for registrars, Club Assistant and the membership office). PLEASE get the word out to those clubs in your LMSC that have not registered--ask them to send their 2011 club registrations in!

| A Few Milestones... | 
Conversations about competitive swimming for adults began in the 1960s. But it wasn't until 1971 that the ball really got rolling.

It will owe its future to thousands of committed volunteers like you! Read more...

LMSC Officer Changes
|  Has your LMSC elected new officers or appointed people to new positions? Make sure the National Office has these changes. Check your LMSC's officer listings by selecting your LMSC from the list on this page.
If this listing is not correct, report any updates to Anna Lea Matysek at the national office.

Calendar of Events
| 
Make sure your events are on the bigger-better-faster Calendar of Events. We added new search capabilities in 2011 and more improvements are coming. Our goal is to make it easy for all of our members to find USMS events, and make it easy for LMSCs to access all the events in their geographic areas.
