I posted the following as part of a response in another thread, but that thread appears to have moved on to a different topic. So, I'm posting the information and question here, along with a poll.
We've heard a lot of discussion recently about a cover photo a few people on the forums don't like, but it would also be helpful to hear what people like.
USMS has published just eight issues since starting the magazine, and partial contents from back issues of the magazine may be found at:
www.usmsswimmer.com
So, what's your favorite cover?
By the way, the magazine staff receives and reviews ideas all year round. In addition, USMS has one big annual planning meeting each June to plan the following year's editorial calendar. SWIMMER receives a lot of completed manuscripts, but an outline or short synopsis is preferred. Writers who wish to be considered for future assignments are invited to send a published writing sample.
If you have ideas, thoughts, suggestions, or Letters to the Editor, please send them to:
editor@usms.org

Haha! That guy looks like he's dressed up as Christa from Survivor Pearl Islands.
All joking aside, the magazine staff is very interested in your ideas, so keep it coming. We do a big review once a year, and this year we're reviewing and planning at the end of June. I know you all have great ideas, so don't be shy, send me a message at: editor@usms.org. You can also send ideas to our Managing Editor at: virginia.sowers@douglasmurphy.com, and the USMS Editorial Committee Chair at: lynhzlwd@usms.org
Along with recording and discussing every idea I receive, this week I'm asking people and writing down their ideas while stalking about on deck at Nationals. I'm hearing some great ideas, and I'm definitely going to continue talking with people and writing down their ideas at Nationals and other events.
