I think that a combined umbrella LMSC team for out of LMSC area meets is fine for those that want/need it, e.g. small workout groups or those individuals that swim on their own and who would otherwise be "unattached". I also feel that a workout group/team within an LMSC which wants to be independent at out of LMSC meets should be able to do that. So, the bottom line is, I think the way to handle the situation is to provide the option and allow both. This is the current situation within the NJ LMSC.
