It is a new year - for registering for Pacific Masters Swimming / United States Masters Swimming. If you register now you will be registered through 31 December 2013.

You can register on line by going to

(This is the preferred method) . You just go to the site, type in your name and birthday and your registration information will appear. PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS, as sometimes we are sending your Masters swimming information to a secondary (non-preferred) email address.

Or you can go to the Pacific Masters Swimming November December Newsletter and there is a paper registered for you can fill out and send to Nancy Ridout, our Registrar.(Address is on the form)

For those who register early US Masters Swimming sponsors are offering discounts on their products. This is a great time to get that new suit or to purchase a swimming "toy" to try out.

When registering, please consider making a donation to the International Swimming Hall of Fame and the USMasters Swimming Swimming Saves Lives Foundation. The Hall of Fame is the repository of all things swimming - it is a great please to visit when you are in Ft Lauderdale. Swimming Saves Lives  directly support programs that are providing opportunities for adults to swim-adults who might not otherwise have opportunities.

I would like to congratulate Derrick Do of CRUZ who was the first swimmer to register.There has been no public information about registration, yet he has the #1 2013 sequence number. I registered at 1:30am and saw that that he was #1. (next year the alarm clock will be set for midmight). Also thanks to the Greenoughs of DAM - by all four registering, DAM is the team with the largest number of swimmers registering.

have fun (and register)
