At the annual OMS Board of Directors Retreat meeting on October 21, the Board voted to leave 2018 annual swimmer dues at the same level as 2017.
Here is the approved 2018 annual registration fee schedule:
| Age Group | USMS portion | OMS portion | Total |
| Age 18-24 | $43.00 | $1.00 | $44.00 |
| Age 25-69 | $43.00 | $11.00 | $54.00 |
| Age 70+ | $43.00 | $1.00 | $44.00 |
Swimmers in the 18-24 age group, and the 70+ age group, will continue to receive a $10 discount.
Also, for OREG Club swimmers, there will once again be NO additional annual Club dues for 2018. All swimmers who are registered as ‘Unattached’ are invited to register with the OREG club for 2018. When registering you will need to change your affiliation from unattached to OREG, at no additional fee, and enjoy the opportunity to swim relays with your friends at our swim meets!
Current plans call for an increase in the number of Oregon swim meets in 2018, more swim clinics for both competitive swimmers and fitness swimmers, and additional benefits for fitness swimmers.
Online registration for 2018 will begin on November 1, 2017. So sign up early, before the end of 2017, and receive some discounts on USMS sponsor swim gear!
