Does USMS require anyone to provide proof of their age currently? Seems to me this would be the same scenario if the answer is "no." Simply have a check box for "Are you a citizen of the United States" on the registration form.USMS does not require proof of age for membership. However, the application for USMS national records does require a copy of a birth certificate or passport.
In Jeff’s hypothetical situation the “foreign swimmer” could be a U.S. citizen. A U.S. citizen can register with another FINA Masters national governing body and compete under that affiliation at a USMS sanctioned event. The same rules for “foreign swimmer” would apply to this hypothetical foreign U.S. citizen at a USMS event.
