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?

What is so great about USMS is that any one can join. I have always swam but it was aside to running. I had several operations & can't run anymore. USMS has given me a great way to reconnect with competive swimmign & with ohters who swim becasue they love it.
Freestyle is emphasized inthe US so much because it is the first stroke taught. In other parts of the world that isn't so. In Japan, most learn *** first.
