Becoming a member of USA Swimming through the Black Marlins unlocks exciting new opportunities for competition, skill development, and recognition at a higher level. Our team has produced Top 10 athletes in New England Swimming and top finishers at both Gold and Age Group Championships. With access to elevated meets and official rankings, USA Swimming gives our athletes the chance to shine beyond the Y circuit.

There’s no extra monthly fee to participate—families simply pay the annual USA Swimming membership for their swimmer and any meet fees when they choose to attend. Meet fees typically range from $40–$60 per weekend, which may include a swimmer participation charge around $26, $5 per individual event, and $10 for distance events (200 yards or longer).

Joining USA Swimming is a great step for swimmers who are ready to take their training and racing to the next level- while still staying part of our supportive Black Marlins family.
