USMS Northwest Zone

This site supports the Northwest Zone, which is one of eight USMS organizational zones (geographic regions) within the United States. Zones are further delineated into smaller regional subgroups called Local Masters Swimming Committees (LMSCs). Each LMSC is responsible for the activities within their province.

The Northwest Zone covered by this site is comprised of seven LMSCs. Visit the LMSC Info page to learn more about their respective swimming programs.

A detailed description and map (pdf) of each of the USMS Zones and the LMSCs can be found here.

NW Zone Short Course Meters Championships (Nov 22-23)

That’s right—mark your calendar! The Northwest Zone Short Course Meters (SCM) Championship is set for November 22–23, 2025 at the Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way, WA. It’s hosted by Puget Sound Masters and will be dual-sanctioned with USA Swimming clubs, meaning times will be eligible for USMS Top 10 rankings.

If you’re planning to compete or spectate, keep an eye on PNA’s pool meets page for entry details and updates. It’s a great venue and always draws strong swimmers from across the region. Let me know if you want help prepping for the meet or finding nearby accommodations.
