Membership and Dues

KMSC Membership

Our membership fees are used to cover coaching, swim articles (such as kickboards, pull-buoys, fins and paddles), and sanctioned team functions.

Current dues are as follows:

  • $60 per quarter
  • $180 per year (pay for 3 quarters and get 1 free!)
  • $5 drop in fee (single practice)

We no longer have monthly or Saturday only rates.  Your dues will be prorated if you start in the middle of a quarter.  We have added a new $5 drop in fee for those of you who just want to come to a single practice.

If you're interested in joining, please complete our membership application and then just show up to practice.  Any one of our board members can take your dues check, or you can mail it to: KMSC, PO Box 1927, Kailua, HI 96734.

If you are unsure when your dues expire, or just want to check the status of your membership, please contact our Treasurer.

Now you can pay your dues using your credit card.  You don't need to sign up for PayPal to use this service.  Of course if you already have a PayPal account, you can use it as well.

USMS Membership (required for Saturday workouts and ocean swims)

United States Masters Swimming (USMS) exists to promote fitness and health in adults by offering and supporting Masters Swimming programs. USMS was founded in 1970 and currently has over 30,000 members. It supports and encourages competition, but more than half of its members are fitness swimmers who do not compete. USMS is one of five organizations which comprise "United States Aquatic Sports", which is a member of FINA, the international governing body for aquatic sports.

Benefits of a USMS membership include: SWIM Magazine subscription, secondary accident insurance in practices supervised by a USMS member and in USMS sanctioned meets where all competitors are USMS registered. Members also benefit when traveling in the US through a reciprocity agreement allowing for free to minimal charge for out of town swimmers. For more information on USMS and the various swim clubs affiliated with this organization, visit www.usms.org

Membership is $25 per year.  Click here for an application through our Hawaii Masters chapter.
