In addition to coaches and athletes, who must join USA Swimming?
All meet directors, referees, starters, marshals, and stroke and turn judges, serving in an official capacity in a sanctioned event, must be members of USA Swimming. Also on a Club application, the Representative, and Head Coach (Coach of Record) must be members. Ohio Swimming clubs also have an Alternate Representative who (if named) must be a member of USA Swimming. Others can join as non athletes in support of USA Swimming and receive the USA Swimming Rules and Regulations as part of their membership.
