The pool where I swim in NYC does not have a Masters program, but I'd like to be able to enter upcoming meets.
Is there any disadvantage to joining Masters as an "Unattached" swimmer?
Would i be better off joining a team in the city instead? Do i actually have to swim at/belong to that pool to join?
Finally what is "All Star" eligibility?
i'm a little confused, and the metroswim website isn't answering a lot of questions.

can i swim relays at Coral Springs with swimmers from other zones?

You can never enter a relay with swimmers from other zones, LMSC's or USMS clubs; all relay swimmers must be members of the same club.
"UNAM" means that you're "unattached" within the Metro Masters "super team," i.e., not a member of one of the local teams/workout groups that are part of Metro Masters. You would be able to enter relays with other Metro Masters swimmers, including team/workout group members (e.g., Asphalt Green or Aquafit), since Metro Masters is registered as a USMS club. (Some New York area teams, like Red Tide, Badger and Westchester are separately registered as USMS clubs and aren't part of Metro Masters, so you can't join their relays.)
