Reminder: USA Swimming Registration
As a reminder, USA Swimming — the national governing body for competitive swimming in the United States — changed how each swimmer, coach, and official obtains their annual membership. Each family is now responsible for opening their USA Swimming account and processing their swimmer’s membership. Every AGUA family must build their family account and register their swimmers by Sunday, October 9, 2022.
This document, as well as instructions previously emailed to you, demonstrate creating your family account and registering a returning AGUA team member. For assistance, please reach out to John Alaimo or your lead coach.
