USA Swimming released their demographic data for 2024 today, and membership stayed very stable, adding 493 members for a 0.13% increase of their numbers to 376,320.
This is not the first time the organization has not seen a significant increase or decrease. From 2009-2010, they added just 85 members for a 0.0% increase.
USA Swimming is still struggling to regain the numbers they lost during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2019 they had 411,672 members before a massive drop in 2020 and 2021 as a result of public pools and club teams closing their doors.
The organization is expecting a significant increase in next year’s numbers due to the post-Olympic surge, typically a 4-12% increase.
