Since this is the public face of USMS (the discussion forum, not the acutal website after all), I would like to list some of the good things about USMS.
1 - friendships, I have met through USMS many fine people. Some of them even claim me as a friend, but only if/when I buy them beer.
2 - competition. I'm not ashamed to admit I like to compete.
3 - a good magazine, despite recent controversy
4 - teams and clubs nationwide. This cannot be discounted if travelling. It's nice to always be welcomed if you are swimming in a city other than your own.
I realize that comparing fitness/competitive swimmers to noodlers is like comparing apples to oranges. But, you know what they say, when given apples, make lemonade.
I've run out of apple cliches. Wait, no I haven't, an apple a day keeps Dr. Gull80 away!
