How many people are actually USMS members?

I was just curious. I noticed that quite a few posts are from people in the UK, Canada (which is outside the US, technically ;) ), or high school swimmers. Are people posting here because discussion boards are not available elsewhere? (I haven't looked.) Or is the information quality higher here?

    I, like a few others I've seen replying to this post, have recently started back in the pool. I swam on a team for ~7 years, quit to take to land and run. I'm currently in the buildup for my first full marathon (I've run ~8 halves) and started having some foot problems. I decided to back down on my miles and get my rear back in the pool. And I realized how much I've missed it and how much I love swimming. However, that did not answer your question....:p the answer is, I'm not a member, and I don't plan on joining for awhile, because I am simply not good enough yet. I'm working on my mileage :confused: , yardage? and then possibly join later. I enjoy reading here to get information in what seems to be a supportive network. Thanks!
