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!!

I am the South Texas LMSC Sanction chair and have dual sanctioned many USA swimming meets. I encourage you to talk to your LMSC sanction chair to understand all the in and outs of dual sanctions. LCM and SCM fall under FINA for records and SCY meets do not. Anyway there are quite a few things you need to have done i.e. meet results submitted to your sanction chair to go to the top ten recorder etc. I encourage you to talk to your LMSC chair and sanction chair so you have all the info before you swim in a USA meet.
