Hi!
I stumbled across this site while I was looking for some new interesting workouts and thought I'd look into it. I swam on community teams when I was young, and then varsity teams in high school. Now I'm a freshman in college and really missing the competition.
So I was wondering - how do you get involved w/ USMS meets? or teams? (if it helps, I'm currently in Souther CA, and spend summers in MA) Can anyone compete or do you have to be at a certain level? (according to this site, I'm a Masters Level 2) Can I compete in one state during the school year, and other during the summer?
Also, about how much/how often does everyone swim? Currently, I'm swimming about 3000yds 6x/week. Is this pretty average, or too low?
Thanks so much for all the information. I appreciate it, and hope you have a great day!

All of your questions can be answered by going to the USMS home page (www.USMS.org). Scroll to "Join USMS", then click on "LMSC info". Anyone can join and swim in meets, but you must register first. You don't have to join a local club, but I suggest that you do so. There are many advantages, the best being able to get advice and support from fellow swimmers. Good luck.
