A friend from NJ sent me the thread. I contacted the German Masters organization for help and received an e-mail address (grenados.j@oninet.es) of the president of a swim club in Palma di Mallorca who was also envolved in organizing the European Championships in 2001. He speaks German but I don&amp;#39;t know whether he speaks any English but assume he does. I have sent him an e-mail and asked for more information and English-speaking contacts in Spain today. If I hear anything from him I will forward it to you. But also feel free to contact him yourself.
I am glad that I get the oportunity to reciprocate for all the help I had received from the US Masters during my stay in NJ.
Hey are you planning to go to the World Champs in Italy. I plan to attend and compete in the backstroke events. maybe we can meet there and chat over a cup of coffee.

You will find Masters swimming almost every country you go to nowadays, and Spain is not the exception. 
Go to this website: &lt;a href="http://www.rfen.es/homemast.htm"&gt;www.rfen.es/homemast.htm&lt;/a&gt;

that is the equivalent of our usms.org for Spain. The only thing you might find is that there aren&amp;#39;t as many competitions over there as there are here, but then again Europe is so much smaller you can look for competitions in neighboring countries. 
For a list of masters clubs in the area you are potentially moving to check here: &lt;a href="http://www.rfen.es/master/clumaste.htm"&gt;www.rfen.es/.../clumaste.htm&lt;/a&gt;
you should have contacts and can find out when they practice and how much to suit your needs 

Good luck! Spain is a lovely place to live in :cool:&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: A question....</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/11408?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 30 Jan 2004 12:26:57 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:3f0d95e3-7f37-4851-85fe-c04309984a0a</guid><dc:creator>Former Member</dc:creator><description>many thanks- I&amp;#39;ll send him an email when I can...

I have a good friend that swims in Tucson named Dickie Fernandez.  He is from Spain and I know he could give you some help.  Email him at dickie_fernandez@hotmail.com and reference my name.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
