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?

Hi! I'm originally from Berkeley California where I swam competively from jr high thru UCB.
I've been living in Italy for 20 years, I'm a happy masters swimmer with a team in Florence, Italy, Nuoto Club Firenze . We're a fantastic team of over 150 athletes.
The Masters movement is live and kicking here in Italy, and we often have several meets each weekend in various locations of the peninsula, with 600-800 participants.
We also have an extremely lively forum QuelliCheilNuoto where we tend to get a little rowdy, but also talk about serious swim stuff.
I come and read this forum to read about swimming in English, to check out the competition ;) for the upcoming World Championships, get training tips, and just plain stay in touch!
Ciao from Florence!
