US Guides

What USA Swimming is, how teams affiliate through their LSC, membership basics, and how Safe Sport and MAAPP work.
A treasurer's guide to collecting dues
Which fees to collect, setting a billing cadence, card and ACH payments, late payments, and keeping clean records.

How US teams choose software for registration, billing, attendance, and parent communication, without the jargon.
