USA Swimming Registration
All meets, both away and at our home pools require USA registration, except those meets labeled "Home Meet" and "Mentor Meet." Prior to attending your first non-scrimmage meet, you must register online with USA Swimming. There are 3 athlete registration options:
- Premium: This will cover your swimmer for the remainder of 2024 and all of 2025. There are no limits on the number of meets. This is the most expensive option, but also the easiest. Just register once each year and you're all set.
- Individual Season: This will cover exactly 150 days of swimming. If you upgrade to premium BEFORE the 150 days expires, USA-Swimming will just charge you the difference, but you have to make sure you upgrade within 150 days. If the individual season expires before you upgrade, you will have to pay the full amount for the Premium membership to continue.
- Flex: This will cover 12&Under athletes for up to a year, but the athlete cannot compete in more than 2 USA-Swimming sanctioned meets, and it will not cover participation in championship meets like Peachstate Champs, State or Divisionals.

A Note from the Coach:
We have not yet finished this Short Course season, so there is still time to achieve goals. The New Year is also a great time to reflect on the previous year, and refine or set new goals.
At this point in the season, we are continuing to focus on:
- Being consistent in practice attendance
- Improving technique and building endurance through the effort put forth in practice
- Gaining race experience and developing racing strategies through meet participation
- Having a positive attitude at all times and learning to overcome adversity
