Greetings,
Do you surf the USMS web site a lot?
We are seeking a few regular web surfers who enjoy the USMS web site to comment on the various resources on usms.org. We will be highlighting these resources in future issues of SWIMMER magazine.
Right now, we're looking for someone who uses the "Search For Individual Swimmer's Results" database located in the "Competition" section of usms.org. If you use this database to search for results and are willing to respond to a few brief questions, please contact us at:
Editor@usms.org
Happy Surfing!

Hi Bill,
I'm just posting to alert you to the fact that the 'Individual Results' search tool is a part of the larger context called the 'Current Top Times' - a database that I manage. It is due to the cooperation of swimmers and meet managers nationwide that we have the extensive database that we do at present.
These tools are both meant to give credit to ALL swimmers who participate in USMS recognized and sanctioned meets (nationwide and abroad). As you know, the Top Ten awards are made only to those swimmers who achieve one of the top 10 swims in a particular age group and event. Current Top Times recognizes all swims, whether or not they are in the Top Ten.
It has been my feeling for years that all USMS competitors should have access to their swims, since most train as hard as those who achieve the Top Ten awards. So, for example, if I swim the 100th place time in a particular event, I can find it in either the Current Top Times search or the Individual Results searches.
