How to register with USA Swimming

USA Swimmer Membership Registration:

Every Power Cats swimmer must be registered with USA Swimming. Find the section below that applies to your family.

RETURNING Swimmers:

Swimmers who finished the 2026 Summer Season with active USA Swimming Memberships with the Power Cats, will receive an email with Group Assignments, Practice Info, and a Google Form. The Google Form will allow swimmers/families to confirm their 2026-27 Membership with the Power Cats and also select the level of their USA Swimming Membership.

For most of you, your USA Swimming Membership will expire on December 31, 2026. In November 2026, the Blue Springs Power Cats ADMIN Team will register your swimmer for Premium Membership (or Flex Membership if your swimmer will not swim in meets). You will be charged for your 2027 USA Swimming Registration Fee at that time.

• Premium Membership – $82 (expires 12/31/2027) – eligible for ALL meets through 12/31/2027.

• Flex Membership (only for swimmers 12 years old or younger) – $30 (expires 12/31/2027) – eligible for up to 2 meets through 12/31/2027.

NEW Swimmers (or those with an expired membership):

• Go to this website: https://hub.usaswimming.org/landing

• Click "Create Login"

• Before you create an Athlete Account, you will need to create a Parent Account. If you already have a Parent Account for another swimmer, just log in to that!

• After you create your account, log in to https://hub.usaswimming.org/landing using your newly created username and password.

• After you sign in, finalize your profile.

• Once you are signed in (to your Parent Account), click on our specific USA Swimming Registration Link: The USA Swimming Registration Link for the 2026-27 Season has not been created by USA Swimming. As soon as we receive this link, we will add it here.

• Create an account for your swimmer.

• Pick "I'm registering my child" → Premium Athlete 2026-27 (or a similar membership).

• Fill in athlete info, emergency contacts, Safe Sport questions → Pay.

• The account will turn green instantly (indicating that the membership is up-to-date).

• After this, send us your swimmer's new USA Swimming Member ID so we can add that ID to the roster in Commit Swimming.

USA Swimming Membership Choices:

Signing up for any of these USA Swimming membership plans will make your swimmer immediately eligible to begin practicing with the Power Cats:

• Premium Membership – $82 (expires 12/31/2027) – eligible for ALL meets through 12/31/2027.

• Season 1 Membership – $50 (expires 02/05/2027) – eligible for ALL meets through 02/05/2027.

• Flex Membership (only for swimmers 12 years old or younger) – $30 (expires 12/31/2027) – eligible for up to 2 meets through 12/31/2027.

Which USA Swimming Membership should you sign up for?

While all memberships allow swimmers to immediately begin practicing and compete in up to two meets, Premium Membership offers the best value for those who plan to swim the entire year and compete in swim meets throughout the 2026-27 season. If your swimmer plans on competing in meets, it's best to select the PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP.

Once you do this, you will officially be registered with the Blue Springs Power Cats and USA Swimming. All members of the team are required to register with USA Swimming.

If you are transferring memberships from a previous USA Swimming / Missouri Valley team, please initiate that process by logging in to your USA Swimming Account and clicking the Club Transfer option under My Account on your USA Swimming Account Homepage.
