What is USA-S and why do I pay extra for that? SWAT is a club member of USA Swimming, Inc. and Wisconsin Swimming, Inc., which operates locally as a Local Swim Committee (LSC).  All registered group members of SWAT need to be members of USA Swimming.  With this, swimmers have liability insurance at all USA Swimming approved events, practices and meets.  Additionally, swimmers will receive a copy of the SPLASH magazine published by USA Swimming and have an opportunity to participate in  meets and special camps and other special events sponsored by USA Swimming and Wisconsin Swimming.

USA Swimming  is the national governing body for amateur competitive swimming in the United States.  USA Swimming divides the country into 59 Local Swimming Committees (LSC).  As the national governing body for the sport, USA
Swimming is charged with the responsibility to formulate rules, conduct national championships, disseminate safety and sports medicine information, select competitors to represent this country in international competition, and ensure the
development of its member club and age group swimmers.  USA Swimming is the ruling body of sanctioned swimming meets in the United States for meets in which SWAT participates.
