Step 2: USMS
If you already have a USMS membership, no problem. If not, you'll need to fill out and bring in a registration form which provides insurance. This covers your United States Masters Swimming membership which provides liability insurance for the team. You will get a swim magazine and the ability to participate in swim meets. Registration cost is about $30.

Use the Join/Renew link. When you have your USMS membership number, send it to the team captains so we can add you to the members list that lets you get into the UMKC pool without paying the $10 day fee.
Step 3: Membership And Practice Fees
The KC Wave has a fee structure that combines membership fees and practice dues. The team also uses money from fundraisers to help keep the cost of membership/practices low.
In January, team members pay Membership and Practice Fees for the first half of the year:
$90 if you swim more than half the time
$60 if you swim less than half the time
$30 if you are a student
In July, we determine how much money the team has raised through fundraisers. Typically, the team raises enough that Membership and Practice Fees for the second half of the year is voluntary.
