South Texas Masters Swimming is part of a nationwide program for adult swimmers of all abilities who are interested in lifelong athletic participation in a friendly setting. Stimulated by the association with coaches and experienced swimmers of all ages, we believe in fun, fitness, and endless possibilities for improved swimming skills. We keep on swimming because we enjoy it.
U.S. Masters Swimming (USMS) is the national organization for adult swimmers, offering programs for fitness, training, and competition. Since 1971, USMS has grown to over 60,000 members — from first-time lap swimmers to national champions — all united by a love of the water. "Masters" simply means age 18 and up. Whether you’re aiming for a personal best or just looking to stay active, there's a place for you here.
Membership Options
Standard USMS Membership – $70/year
USMS+ Premium Membership – $249/year (includes additional benefits and savings)
A USMS membership connects you to local teams, lets you enter meets, and gives you access to exclusive resources, including training tips, partner discounts, and SWIMMER magazine.
Once you join U.S. Masters Swimming (USMS), you can take the next step by joining a local swim club. Local clubs offer coached practices, training support, and a fun, encouraging community of fellow swimmers. Whether you're training for a meet or just looking to stay active, swimming with a club is a great way to stay motivated and connected.

Have you always wanted to learn to swim but never had the opportunity? Did you have a negative or frightening experience in the water when you were younger that prevented you from wanting to try again? You’re not alone! About one-third of adults in the United States can’t safely swim the length of a pool. USMS is trying to change that.
