Sawtooth Masters (SAWS) is a USMS Club and an Unincorporated Nonprofit Association registered pursuant to Idaho Statutes Title 30 Chapter 27.
USMS is a national organization that provides competitions, clinics/workshops, and extensive information (magazine and online) for adults aged 18 and over. USMS is administered locally by 53 Local Masters Swim Committees (LMSCs) located in 9 geographic zones across the US. Prospective members and clubs join USMS through their LMSC. SAWS is one of four registered clubs within the Snake River LMSC. SAWS is in the Northwest Zone. A membership in SAWS is a membership in USMS, and allows individuals to compete in USMS sanctioned events. As an individual, you may choose to join SAWS, receive email notification of events and enjoy the camaraderie and structure of the group or you may choose to remain unattached. Unattached swimmers enjoy all of the benefits of USMS membership, except they cannot compete in USMS sanctioned competitions.
Where and when coached practices will be held is currently being restructured. Members will be provided updated information through the newsletter feature on this website.
Under the umbrella of Sawtooth Masters Club members can work out at the facility of their choice.
