To participate on the KW Swim Team, each athlete must separately purchase an annual USA Swimming Membership. Families who qualify for AMS Outreach Membership can take advantage of a reduced annual USA Swimming Membership fee (“Outreach” membership).

Meet Entry Fee Reimbursement (AMS Meets, Individual Events Only)
Families who qualify for an AMS Outreach Membership do not have to pay AMS meet entry fees. The KW Treasurer completes this form for qualifying families to ensure meet entry fees are reimbursed by AMS. Meet fee reimbursement only applies to individual events at AMS sanctioned and approved meets. It does not apply to relays, surcharges, and no shows. Deck entry reimbursements are limited to a value equal to the amount of the actual entry fee.

Reduced Tuition for AMS-Sponsored Camps
If an athlete is eligible for and has been selected for an AMS-sponsored camp, and that family has qualified for AMS Outreach Membership, then that family’s camp application fee will not exceed $150.00. Please contact the KW Financial Manager and Registrar if you qualify for AMS-Sponsored camp assistance.
