Swim info has this article:

Which discusses a new organization for competitive swimming called Adult Swimming Association. Apparantly the initiator is unhappy with the various things that USMS does that are not directly related to competitive swimming, such as the promotion of fitness. Also, he is unhappy with the structure of the national meets. He proposes several variations of the age group structure.
Any thoughts or insights?

I wouldn't feel holding an ASA record would be very meaningful because you have to submit a "nominal processing fee" with your application for a record. There are very, very many faster swimmers than me in all my events, but if they choose not to fork over the $48 registration and "nominal processing fee" for the record, that makes my "record" worth no more than the piece of paper it's written on.
