The date to 'discuss the organization' of a USMS Club here at the Thomasville Y has been set for 4/25. I am starting to prepare a very short presentation and trying to anticipate questions.
One of the benefits USMS offers its member is insurance during all sanctioned events and organized workouts. What does organized workouts mean?
For those of you who have been in on the organization of a club, what questions should I expect to field? (I've read FAQ and looked at the documents Rob posted a couple of weeks ago.)
What else do I need to know? What have you found to be helpful? What I am asking for is your personal experiences.
Thanks!

Geek, I would have gladly joined USMS when I first started back swimming if there had been a team already in existance in T'ville. I still believe that USMS doesn't offer anything for people in areas where there isn't a team or for newbies, but those things have been debated in other threads.
I'm following up on the suggestions made here but, I would like to hear from other folks on starting up a club. Surely, someone out there has been involved with the organization of a club.
