Important Note for 2024: Turn off offering until September 1, 2024
New families/New registrations - Registrations for the next season don’t begin until September 1, it is imperative that new families are not able to access the USA-S registration windows until after that date.
What to do in SWIMS
To avoid accidental registrations for 2024 instead of 2025, we strongly recommend that you turn off the offerings that are currently selected for 2024. Steps for this:
- Log into USA-S account and select Club – My Club.
- Select Registration – Manage Offerings.
- Select 2024 (9/1/2023 – 8/31/2024) as the Report Period.
- Deselect appropriate offerings. (At least any offerings for athlete registrations and maybe non-athletes, too. Remember – these are new and inexperienced parents.)
Any of these offerings can be turned on again as needed if anyone truly needs to register for 2024 such as for participating in practice, coaching, officiating, etc. prior to September 1.
Remember – athletes not currently registered with USA-S have a 30 day tryout period during which they can attend practice. If your club starts practice prior to September 1, this provides insurance for the club and coaches during the tryout period. However, if the athlete plans to continue with the club, they must be registered prior to practicing after that 30-day period.
Online Member Registration (OMR) - Bulk Renewal (yes or no?)
Information has been sent to all clubs in the past two weeks about the option for “bulk renewal” for athletes and non-athletes. A club administrator can now select or decline that option for 2025 by following these steps:
- Log into USA-S account and Select Club – My Club.
- Select Registration – Bulk Renew Athletes.
- Click the Opt In box to indicate Yes or No.
- Click Save.
- Repeat the process for Bulk Renew Non-Athletes.
Remember choosing Yes for “bulk renewal” for means that that the club will pay USA-S directly for the registrations. Choosing No means that the club wants parents/individuals to continue renewing athletes and/or non-athlete registrations independently and paying USA Swimming directly.
**Important to note that you can make a selection for 2025 at this point but can modify that selection up to 8/25/2024.
