YMCA Masters Nationals 2012, Ft. Lauderdale, FLorida

Calvin, I know that the South Hills YMCA (Pittsburgh area), which doesn't even have a pool, lets people from other states join for the purpose of swimming in Y masters meets. A bunch of folks from New Jersey do this every year. If you would like, you can try contacting Carol Ide at ciswimr@aol.com . I know she used to be the head of the team, and if this email still works, she can explain how you can sign up, etc. I think I will be seeing her at a meet this weekend, and I will let her know you might be emailing her. Thanks Jim! While I can't swing the trip this year (Greensboro is already on the calendar) I may pursue this in the future. Is that on a YMCA by YMCA basis? Like if my old YMCA allowed it, could I swim representing them for YMCA nationals but continue to represent my LMSC here in Arkansas for spring/summer nationals?
