Wanting to Compete Someday

Hello!  My name is Martine McGinnis-Tingle.

I am a new member of USMS, and I was wondering if there were any upcoming competitions in my area for me to train for.

  • welcome to USMS! is exactly right. That link is the best way to find an event in your area. We also offer virtual events each month you can participate in: https://www.usms.org/events/fitness-events

    Whatever suit you feel most comfortable in, will be fine. Our members have different goals for different meets so someone may be trying to break a club record in the same event that someone is doing their first event and that range of goals typically translates to the range of suits you will see on deck. Let us know if you have anymore questions. 

  • This summer, there has been quite the shortage of meets/events! I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because of the Olympics?

  • I think the late date for Spring Nationals had an impact too. There's a few LC meets locally that are usually in June but they didn't hold them this year because people were still training for SCY meets.
