I just read at" swiminfo.com" that the USMS board of directors voted to start "our" own magazine and no longer affiliate with SWIM. Their article presents the SWIM point of veiw,but it is a compelling argument against this action.What is the other side & what does everyone think?
I started this post because I wanted to get both sides of the story. If USMS saves money and we get a high quality product great. If that happens and SWIM is still published that will be good for me,as that will be two Masters magazines and I read all the swim stuff I can find. I do think someone on the Board should have made a post here about this before the meeting. Yes,we could have looked it up elsewhere,but when was the last time the Board had such a controversial issue. Maybe this is the right choice,but a little more warning would have made the decision less jarring.
