Dear :  Registration for the 2019 U.S. Masters Swimming Spring National Championship is open. We're looking for officials and on-deck coaches for the meet April 25-28 at the Kino Aquatic Center in Mesa, Ariz. If you're coaching but not swimming at Spring Nationals, please complete this form so you'll receive the premeet emails.

Are you looking for a rewarding volunteer initiative for your swimmers? Get them involved with helping other adults in your community learn how to swim.

Q: Why pay when you can barter?

A: The fees for a Masters club can add up quick: renting lane space, buying equipment, and more. But try bartering for those things rather than paying for them. Think of the resources and talents you have: coaching skills, organizational expertise, and technical knowledge of meet management software. Your swimmers also have skills in different areas. Aquatic facilities have many different needs your club can provide. Cull your resources and keep your wallet in your pocket.
