So, my 2017 Summer Nationals performance was OK, but left room for improvement and I'm thinking about planning to start training for 2018 Long Course Summer Nationals.
Oops, there is no USMS Summer Nationals in 2018, in deference to the UANA Pan American Masters Championships.
I cannot find any information about if we can participate, how one qualifies, if we have to join UANA, etc., etc.
I've checked the UANA site, the Orlando YMCA site, USMS site with no luck.
Does anyone have any information about the event and whether those of us who were expecting a USMS Summer Nationals can plan to swim at the UANA Championships?
I mean no disrespect, Jim. Clearly I've failed to articulate my questions well.
Do USMS swimmers need to join UANA in order to participate, or is there reciprocal membership recognition?
Is there a U.S. team, or do swimmers compete as individuals?
It may be that there is no USMS connection at all with the UANA meet and that we swimmers simply participate as individuals within the Pan American swimming community, according to their as-yet-undefined qualification and entry requirements.
Thank you for your patience.
