Hi everyone,
I am an unattached swimmer who is looking to enter meets soon.
Do master swimmers have to stick to only competing in masters swim meets or can we branch out to meets listed on USA Swimming (I am aware that many require qualifying times)?
Second, I noticed if I am not accompanied by a coach many meets require that the swimmer be certified as proficient in starts...Below is a clip from one of the meets I was looking at. Has anyone ever done this or know the process?
"Any swimmer entered in the meet must be certified by a USA Swimming member-coach as being proficient in performing a racing start or must start each race from within the water. When unaccompanied by a member-coach, it is the responsibility if the swimmer or the swimmer’s legal guardian to ensure compliance with this requirement."
Any info would be great!!
You must be a USA Swimming member to swim at USA Swimming sanctioned events. You can be either a USA-S or USMS member at dual sanctioned events.
As for your second point, contact the meet director to see what they need for proof of proficiency.
