Core Objectives
In 2003, the USMS created their Core Objectives of Educate, Serve and Build the membership. To stand by these core objectives, the USMS SWIMMER magazine was created and provides education about the sport through featured stories, training and technique tips, health advice and equipment reviews. Another way the organization lives by these objectives is by serving their members through the Oral History project. Oral History provides a chance for any one to give honor to a Masters Swimmer who has in some significant way made an impact on the sport, on a local team, or on a particular person. This is not necessarily one of our elite swimmers - in fact, it is geared more to those who have "labored in the fields" and changed some aspect of Masters Swimming for the better. " Lastly, they build their membership by creating a growing national presence as seen from a plethora of News Releases found on USMS.org/news/.

“It is possible to have a strong self-love without any self-satisfaction, rather with a self-discontent which is the more intense because one’s own little core of egoistic sensibility is a supreme care.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“Along the journey we commonly forget its goal. Almost every vocation is chosen and entered upon as a means to a purpose but is ultimately continued as a final purpose in itself. Forgetting our objectives is the most frequent stupidity in which we indulge ourselves.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
