USAT had 4,334 sanctioned events (1) in 2011. There were 146,657 full members at a price of $45/yr in 2011. They also sold 134,276 "one day" passes (2) in 2010 for a fee of $12.
1) That number includes 1,011 "youth events" and an unstated number of camps/clinics. USAT also sanctions some events that only use a pool or do not have a swimming portion. So 4334 - youth events - camps/clinics - pool-based triathlons - duathlons = ???? open water races.
2) Might be misleading -- I initially bought a "one day" pass when I was tri-ing it out and later converted to a full membership with their offer of paying the difference between annual price and one-day price. I was told a bunch of people do it that way but who knows?
