USA Swimming Registration Details

For 2026 USA Swimming membership registration for BSSC- connected members will operate differently than the past couple of years. 

• Renewals will have to be completed through the team (link below)

  • Athlete and non-athlete registrations

  • Membership levels can be selected during the registration process

• Transfers to/from BSSC will need to be initiated by the parent/guardian

For the people who want more details:

BSSC opted to participate in USA Swimming bulk renewal to manage athlete/non-athlete renewal memberships centrally through the USA Swimming portal (SWIMS). Since BSSC opted-in, members cannot self-renew; they must go through the club, which will collect registration fees and submit renewals centrally. 

In the past it has been a tax on our parent volunteers to ensure all swimmers are registered with USA Swimming prior to practice, or reconciling the errors after registrations. For new families it can be very confusing to understand the registration process. We are hoping streamlining this process will reduce fatigue and frustration for our volunteers and parents.
