In what countries, besides USA, is Masters Swimming "big"? Now, it's very difficult to define excatly what I mean by masters swimming being "big" but let's define it like this:
1. An arbitrarily chosen city with a population of more than 100,000 in the particular country would be likely to have a masters team with at least 10 members.
2. Annually there should be at least 5 masters swim meet being held in the country.
So basically, if I reside in the particular country in a not too small city, I'd be likely to be able to join a masters team and compete without having to travel abroad.

There are some good teams in London. Outside of London, the choices are far more limited. Go north of the M4 and they're almost non-existant.
I beg to differ. There are hundreds of GB Masters Clubs outside of London. There were > 20 different clubs entered in the Yorkshire Masters championships alone, and that's just one County event!!
