Swimmers:

The on-line registration system for swimmers has been operational since 2009.  Swimmers who wish to register themselves with USMS can do so, and pay with a credit card, at:

https://www.clubassistant.com/club/usms.cfm (recommended) or you may print out the paper registration and mail it in as well.

2010 Registrations are open using this PDF form. 
(2009 registration forms will NOT be accepted. They will be returned and delay your registration up to 1 month.)

Moving or changing teams?  Use the Transfer form -PDF

Event Directors:
OEVT (one-event registration) is NOT available for USMS-sanctioned events in the Metropolitan LMSC.

Teams: New & Continuing Registration

New teams and all renewing teams must be registered as a team and update club information.

There are two types of swimming “teams” within the Metropolitan LMSC: stand-alone CLUBS and WORKOUT GROUPS under an umbrella club.

 The only differences between the two are:

1. members of a CLUB may only compete on relays with members of the same CLUB; whereas members of a WORKOUT GROUP may compete on relays with members of other workout groups under the same umbrella club  (Metro Masters and Westchester Masters are currently the only 2 clubs with workout groups)

2. CLUBS need to register every year and pay an annual registration fee (currently $50); WORKOUT GROUPS do not need to pay any fee.

To register a CLUB, fill out the registration form  PDF and mail it and a check to the registrar.  The abbreviation you request for your CLUB name has to be approved by the USMS National Office.  When it is finalized the CLUB will be entered into the registration database and swimmers may begin to register as members of the new CLUB.

NOTE: Registration for Independent Clubs for 2010 begins 10/1/09. Any club not registered by 11/1/09 runs the risk of renewing swimmers being unable to register for his/her club.

The 2010 registration form is due by 10/31/09. Please complete and mail to Maria Anderson along with your check for the annual registration.

To register as a WORKOUT GROUP, please email the following information to the Registrar at metroreg@gmail.com: 

• Name of workout group
• Requested 2-4 letter abbreviation for group
• Name of umbrella club (typically Metro Masters) under which the workout group is being formed
• Contact information of group coach or representative (name, address, phone, email)
• Pool location(s) and workout days/times

The Registrar will respond to tell you when the workout group has been entered in the system.  Swimmers first select the CLUB then the WORKOUT GROUP when using the on-line system (example: METR is club selection, CIBB is workout group selected).
