Rumor has it that some teams were recruiting outside there LMSC for swimmers at nationals. What do you think of this.

    Originally posted by TheGoodSmith The data base of masters swimmers information is worth gold to many companies for obvious reasons. Does USMS ever plan to sell it to any companies out there to draw in bigger dollars? John Smith I sure hope we don't go this route. I get way too many people doing "creative" things because they are so worried about identity theft. I've probably received a dozen registration forms this year without birthdates, and many of those, when contacted, said they didn't want to give out their birthdate because they are concerned about identity theft. Then there are the people who change their birthdate every year. And the people who scribble all over the form not to send them ANYTHING, and not to give out their address to anyone.
