About Us

United States Masters Swimming (USMS) is an organized program of swimming for adults which has nearly 43,000 members, a few of whom are in their 90's and even 100's, but anyone 18 or over can join. It is not necessary to have previous experience in competitive swimming. USMS, Inc. is the National Governing Board which provides the administrative structure for Masters swimming.

The country is divided into eight regional zones comprised of smaller groups called Local Masters Swimming Committees (LMSC). LMSC's in turn are composed of smaller groups (clubs or teams and unaffiliated swimmers). Metropolitan LMSC, Inc. is a part of the Colonies Zone

As an individual, you may choose to join a team or club and enjoy the camaraderie and structure of the group. Competition is optional. Only 35% or so of Masters swimmers compete in swimming meets on a regular basis.

For those who are serious competitors, there are an incredible number of opportunities to test your skill and conditioning. Pool meets, lake and ocean open water swims, postal meets, special events and international championships are all part of an ambitious program of Masters swimming.

Masters swimming in New York City, Long Island and the Lower Hudson Valley (which includes Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester Counties) is governed by the Metropolitan LMSC which itself has over 1,700 members on almost 3 dozen teams.
