Sorry, I feel sure this must already have been discussed, but I can't find a previous thread addressing this easily. I'm a Pac Masters swimmer who is getting back into the swing of things after a couple years away from the water. Unfortunately, our next (non-open water) meet after today's meet in San Jose is in August. I would ideally like to swim one meet per month between now and then.
It seems as though the best way to do this is to join USAS and swim in their A/B/C meets here in the Bay Area if it is permissible to do so. (I am 26.) Is this permissible? Does anyone here do this? Thanks in advance.
I know it's all legal stuff, but I don't know why a 30+ year old can't just sign away their life if they want. USMS meet entry forms have waivers releasing the host from most if not all liabilities. No coaches are needed to swim in a meet. USAS should be able to do the same.
Because with USMS there aren't the predators that are showing up in USA-S. They want all, even adults, to be accounted for on deck.
