What USAS Does for Its Members
Very often clubs, swimmers and coaches ask what USA Swimming does for them besides providing insurance. On October 27-28, USA Swimming held a workshop to answer that question. The workshop participants from each LSC learned about the vast resources available from USA Swimming. The following document highlights some of these resources... [more]
Non-Athlete Registrations for 2008
The 2008 registration period for membership in MVS began on September 1, 2007. Registrations for coaches and officials can be done using our online registration form, or by printing a form and mailing it with your payment to the MVS Office. Registrations for swimmers must be done through their team or club.
To complete your registration online using PayPal, use our Online Registration and Payment Form.
To print and mail your registration and payment, use our
Printable Registration Form.
Please note that when using our online registration form, you MUST also submit the PayPal form, which follows our online form, to have your fees paid by credit or debit card. If you only complete our online form and skip the PayPal form, it does NOT register you for 2008 unless you also mail your payment to the MVS Office.
PayPal, a recognized leader in electronic payment processing, is a participating member of the Council of Better Business Bureau's BBBOnLineŽ Privacy Program. Your payment details are always
safe and secure. PayPal accepts both credit and debit cards and you do not need an account with PayPal to use this service. Once you have completed our online registration form, you will be automatically sent to the PayPal website to enter your payment information. You will also receive an email confirmation directly from PayPal once your payment has been accepted.
Swim Meet Fees
At the Fall 2005 MVS House Of Delegates Meeting, swim meet fees were changed to allow an increase in the per-event fee charged to each swimmer by the meet hosts. This fee was raised from $2.50 to $3.50 per event. In addition, the previous $2.50 meet participation charge (splash fee) to each swimmer was dropped as was the practice of any meet host charging a separate facility fee to each swimmer. Current relay fees of $5.00 were unchanged. Fifteen percent (15%) of the meet's
total entry fees are payable to MVS following the meet. The effective date of this fee change was January 1, 2006.
Officials Mailing List
MVS periodically sends out email announcements to our certified officials informing them of rule changes, issues, upcoming clinics, or other important information. If you are an official and are not currently receiving these announcements, but would like to, you need to add your email address to our mailing list. This is a protected list and only the MVS Chair can send messages using this list (no spam!). To add or delete your email address to or from this list, please use the
Officials E-Mail Subscription
Form.
New MVS Timing System Fees
A new fee schedule for use of the MVS Timing System Equipment and/or Operator was adopted during the MVS House of Delegates meeting on April 16, 2005. The new fees became effective on April 29, 2005. [view fee schedule]
