2025 USMS Membership Requirement:

Swimmers who have a standard USMS membership ($75/year) or premium USMS+ membership are eligible to receive New England Open Water Series awards. Swimmers who purchase USMS one-event memberships ($20 per event) can participate in these events. A standard USMS membership has many benefits and costs less than purchasing four one-event memberships!
