How Long is my Registration Good?
NLAC is a USA Swimming Club and every NLAC swimmer must have a current USA Swimming Athlete membership. If you swim with NLAC as of January of 2024, your athlete membership will be current through December 31, 2024, but will need to be renewed prior to expiration for your swimmer to remain active. If you swam with NLAC for Summer only, your USA Swimming Athlete Membership needs to be renewed. New members will need to create a new SWIMS account with the 2024-2025 OMR link for the specific team and create an account. Expired members will need to use the club's new OMR link to create a login into their account, but should not create a new account. For more information, click the "Self-Renewal Guide" button to the right. |
Please note: Unless your family wants to make a direct donation to USA Swimming, members do not have to pay the Credit Card Processing Fee on the Shopping Cart page in SWIMS 3.0. Wisconsin Swimming pays that fee whether you opt-in or not.
