Hey everyone, I have a problem...I don't train very vigrously or religiously when theres no meets in site...so....because there are so few masters meets around me, I am also re-joining US swimming. ((is that allowed? To swim both?)) I was wondering though...how does one get a hold of registration forms for those meets does anyone know? I will be swimming unattached...but I was messing around on the metroswimming website and couldn't find anywhere that had registration forms for meets that I could print and sign up... I suppose this would be better asked on a US forum, but I couldn't find that either:o if anyone could direct me in the right direction that'd be great!

    My LSC requires TEAMS to enter using the HyTek files but there is a standard LSC "consolidated entry form" for Unattached swimmers to print out, fill out, mail in with payment. You must be registered with USA Swimming before you can submit an entry form. Some LSC's/meet hosts will allow "deck registrations" to join USA Swimming if they allow late entries (enter the day of the meet) but you will need to provide them with a photocopy of your birth certificate, driver's license, or other legal ID showing full legal name and birthdate. It is much better to handle this ahead of time and USMS swimmers who are affiliated with a USAS club should have their USAS team handle the registration and entries. Suggest that you also familiarize yourself with your LSC's Policies & Procedures if you are not working through a USAS team. There will be a few "gotchas" that aren't spelled out in the meet information as they expect the teams to be familiar with how the LSC operates.
