Is Masters Swimming as strong as ever???

Jbdrags: Rather than give an opinion, I will provide 2 links with membership history of both USMS and USA Triathlon and you can make a decision yourself. Go to page 17 for the USMS membership history. www.usms.org/.../lmsc_hb_general.pdf www.usatriathlon.org/.../Demographics.aspx

I have no clue about USMS as a whole but our little team has gone from 3 to over 30 in 4 years. We have 5 new swimmers as of the first of the year. Let's hope most of the newbies stick around.

I believe Mr. Rob Copeland mentioned in a recent USMS Swimmer mag (or on one of these forums) that USMS was doing quite well on membership (as the USMS link verifies).

I find it interesting that with 58,000 members USAT sold 193,000 one event memberships.

USMS grew about 2% last year. I saw that some asked about growth with USA Triathlon. Be aware that that started registering youth in the last year and much of their growth is from that. Leo
