U. S. MASTERS SWIMMING - WISCONSIN LMSC

United States Masters Swimming exists to promote fitness and health in adults by offering and supporting Masters Swimming programs. USMS was founded in 1970 and has over 40,000 members. It supports and encourages competition, but more than half its members are fitness swimmers who do not compete. USMS is one of five organizations which comprise "United States Aquatic Sports", which is a member of FINA, the international governing body for aquatic sports.

USMS is organized in 53 geographic areas of the United States which are managed by the Local Masters Swim Committee (LMSC). The LMSC for Wisconsin is the Wisconsin Masters Swim Committee, Inc. (WMSC).

An annual membership in USMS is obtained for a modest fee through the registrar of the LMSC. (The Wisconsin Year 2008 fee is $40.00). Membership is required to participate in Masters Swim meets. Membership includes insurance benefits, USMS SWIMMER Magazine, the Wisconsin Masters Newsletter and swim meet information.

WISCONSIN MASTERS SWIM CLUB

In Wisconsin we have one National club, Wisconsin Masters Aquatic Club (WMAC) .

Under the Wisconsin Masters Aquatic Club (WMAC) umbrella are numerous sub-clubs. Participation under the WMAC umbrella will enable all Wisconsin registered swimmers to compete as 'TEAM WISCONSIN " in out of state, national and international competition. They will be able to form relays and score points as a unified team.

Within Wisconsin, clubs will retain their individual identity, which will provide for competition between local clubs at intrastate meets. Local clubs will be able to score points and establish state records that note club affiliation. However, team affiliation for times submitted for National Top Ten recognition will be identified as WMAC.

Swimmers may only register as a member of WMAC, an officially registered sub-club or as unattached. Unattached swimmers may not participate in relays at swim meets. It has been our policy to register a swimmer that is not a member of a sub-club as a member of WMAC. If you do not want to be a member of WMAC you may register as "Unattached". A transfer fee of $4.00 is required to change clubs or to transfer from "Unattached" to a club membership once the yearly registration has been processed.
