Postal Swims - questionhttps://community.usms.org/swimming/f/general/2855/postal-swims---questionCan one do their own postal swim on an individual basis? There was talk about our club (which is small, new, and we don&#39;t even have our own coach). I can use my lapcounter which I wear on my finger. I think I could probably do 80 laps in an hour now.en-USTelligent Community 12RE: Postal Swims - questionhttps://community.usms.org/thread/22087?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 10 Jan 2005 17:24:52 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:5d92c818-bd3e-484b-b59a-70a025637f14Former MemberI have no team, I have no coach. I swim alone. I&#39;ve asked life guards to count my laps &amp; record my time. I ussually give to them a gift card to a local restaurant. they usualyy say they&#39;ll do it.<div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: Postal Swims - questionhttps://community.usms.org/thread/22073?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 10 Jan 2005 09:02:55 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:d4bcca5c-e44f-48c5-97f5-a012ec5b5bc0MegSmathThe rules applying to a specific postal meet are stated in that meet&#39;s information. Otherwise, USMS rules as stated in our rule book apply, as they would to any meet. The USMS rule book is available online on this website, or you can order a copy from the National Office. The 2005 rule books should be delivered any day now (they have been at the printer since early December). Last time I checked the 2004 rule book was still posted online, but should be replaced by the 2005 version soon, if it hasn&#39;t been already.<div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: Postal Swims - questionhttps://community.usms.org/thread/22025?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 08 Jan 2005 13:25:17 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:54d93b86-2272-47d3-9bbc-c5e2b9b01401Former MemberWhere does one find the rules to participate in a postal?

That person then must sign your entry as a &quot;verifier.&quot;<div style="clear:both;"></div>
