We are one of those large teams that does not require USMS membership. From what I know, our insurance is much better at about 10% cost (or less) of a USMS membership.
Other than that - I can't think of a good reason for the regular swimmers to become part of USMS. The people who swim meets are members, but that is less than 10% of the team (it is very difficult to get people to swim meets).
We have very good coaches, our top group is as fast as any in the country and we have some 800 members.
I am not sure what USMS could offer to change that ?
