About 10 people drown every day in the United States, most of them adults or young adults, according to the CDC. U.S. Masters Swimming, with its adult learn-to-swim initiative, is on the front lines to reduce this statistic.

Swimming will take center-stage in Rio de Janiero this month and interest in the sport of swimming will increase through TV viewership, internet searches, and inquiries at local pools across the country.

In order to capture some of this interest and provide swimming information and opportunities for people who want to learn to swim, swim for fitness, or compete in swimming, U.S. Masters Swimming has created a new membership option that gives anyone age 18 or older the opportunity to join USMS at a reduced cost for 2016.
