'Tis the season to ask your members to renew their USMS membership for 2020. I recognize having to face the reluctance of some to renew or register is more than likely not your favorite coaching responsibility.  Membership, however, is the leading source of revenue to operate our organization at the national and LMSC levels, allowing us to provide the services our clubs, coaches, and members request.

For swimmers reluctant to join because they don't participate in USMS-sanctioned events, ask them to join not for themselves but to support the good work our organization does reducing the risk of drowning with our ALTS initiatives, providing structure for healthy lifestyle choices, and encouraging adults to swim for a lifetime. There are also a number of benefits our members receive that you can remind them of: SWIMMER magazine, STREAMLINES newsletters,  online workouts, and so much more.

When your swimmers do register, please be sure to thank them for supporting an organization that supports you and brings the joy of swimming to thousands of others, now and in the future. Thank you for your support and effort in getting your members to join.
