Is the JoinTheSwing launch list free to join?

Yes. The JoinTheSwing launch list is free to join, with no membership payment required to add an interested person to the list. It is offered while new registration is closed. Joining the list is not the same as creating a member account, and it does not provide access to the gated members-only site.

The launch list also does not guarantee that registration will open for every interested person. If membership registration becomes available, normal eligibility and account requirements would still apply. JoinTheSwing uses third-party identity verification with ID and liveness checks, and the site does not retain the source images. These checks are separate from simply joining the launch list.

A free launch-list spot should not be confused with approval, an invitation, or access to the gated site, including its club and destination listings. It also does not establish a profile or indicate that any person or venue has been vetted. Anyone waiting for registration can use the public answers and guides to learn the community’s terms, privacy considerations, and basic etiquette at a comfortable pace.

The launch list is simply the no-cost way to show interest during the current registration pause. It carries no obligation and should not be treated as a promise of timing or acceptance. Newcomers can revisit the public library for beginner-friendly explanations while waiting, then review any official registration instructions if access opens. Joining the list alone does not change a person’s membership status.
