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?

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.
What? Check some of the other recent threads; you are good enough right now. USMS is about having a healthy adult aquatic lifestyle. You can do that, you can join USMS. :D
If you mean that you do not intend to join a team, swim a meet or other USMS competition, then okay. But don't get caught up in "being the best", just use USMS to be the best you can be. :cool: Joining a team will provide the support net in order to improve your swimming, whether for exercise or speed.
