Greetings,
The very first issue of SWIMMER magazine was released last week, and USMS members and subscribers should receive their copies in the mail this week!
If you'd like a sneak peek, we have provided some of the magazine's contents online at the usmsswimmer.com web site. Many thanks to everyone who has been involved with the project.

Where can I get a copy of the writers' guidelines? Are they on the site?
Hello,
We have our editorial calendar mapped out a year in advance, but we're always interested in speaking with new writers. If you're interested in writing for the magazine, please feel free to contact me individually at: editor@usms.org
Although we will read unsolicited manuscripts, we prefer to see writing samples and then select writers whose style would lend itself to the planned feature. Rather than publishing writer's guidelines, we do assignments individually. When an assignment is done, we provide written assignment sheets for each feature. The assignment sheets have all the details including notes on the focus of the piece, word length, etc.
Please let me know if you'd like more information.
