USA Swimming and Metropolitan Swimming offer a membership program to help and encourage the economically disadvantaged youth who are unable to afford the USA Swimming membership fees. The program offers qualified athletes the opportunity to become USA Swimming members for $5.00. The goal of the Outreach Program is to promote the identification, recruitment, training and retention of any of America’s minority and disadvantaged youth that shows an interest in swimming and is unable to afford joining a local USA Swimming club.  The membership is a year-round membership. Confidentiality of members will be maintained.
