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?
And, Leonard, when you seizes power, can I suggest that you change the current age group structure to temperatures. It may be tough in the 19-24 and 25-29 temperature ranges ( we could sell them the US Ice Fishing Federation), but for those of us who like to compete in the 55 – 59 temperature range, we would not be required to be classified with those in the 75 - 79 temperature group or those in the 95+.
Just a thought
