I'm currently UNAT (been training pretty much by myself and have competed in one meet), but would like to participate in relays in Indy. Don't know many people in my LMSC, but do in others where I grew up. What can I do? Oh, also I've entered the Indy meet as UNAT.
If you have been unattached for at least 60 days since last belonging to a USMS club (if you previously belonged to a USMS club), you can affiliate with a USMS club (article 201.3.5 of the USMS rule book), BUT as noted by the above response, since you have already entered nationals as unattached you will have to notify the meet host of a valid club transfer prior to the first event in which you swim at nationals (104.5.4A of the USMS rule book). It's better to notify the meet host through USMS as soon as possible of such a change. When you register at nationals and pick up your heat sheet and entry card, read the club affiliation next to your name in the heat sheet and on the entry card to be sure your affiliation is correct. If it is not correct, immediately notify the meet host of the error and present your current USMS registration card BEFORE competing.
