USA Swimming - Account Creation / Registration
(Best done on PC or Laptop)
Step 1: Account Creation
CREATE A SWIMS LOGIN (if already completed, proceed to Step 2)
PARENTS: The 'Parent Account' exists so that the parent can manage their children's information, registrations, and renewals. This account is NOT a USA Swimming membership.
- Click HERE for instructions on creating a parent account, which must be done prior to registering your swimmer.
- A parent/main account is required BEFORE children are registered. It does not matter whether the parent is an Athlete, Official, or neither one. Parents MUST have a parent account before they can register their children.
- A parent account is not a USA Swimming membership. It is a SWIMS login.
- The parent account creation process does not include club registration links.
- Children under 16 cannot register for themselves. Parents will log into their parent accounts to register their children.
- To create your parent account, first navigate to https://hub.usaswimming.org/landing and click 'Create a Login' in the bottom right corner.
COACHES, OFFICIALS, OTHER NON-ATHLETE MEMBERS of USA Swimming: You will also need to create a login account and do their initial USAS registration. If you already have a parent and/or other account already with the new SWIMS system do NOT create a new account but go directly to Step 2.
- Click HERE for instructions on creating a login account for USA Swimming.
- To create your account, navigate to USA Swimming's Login Page - https://hub.usaswimming.org/landing
- Follow the instructions in the link above.
