After taking a look at the swim suit post, I had the following comment...
Hey, we should have a printed USMS calendar with the dates of all National (Including Postal) Meets on it for sale around December each year. And it can't be real serious stuff. It has to be photos of people having fun. Maybe with some inspirational tips or fun quotes.
I wonder how this could happen and if people like the idea?
USMS did have a swimsuit calendar back in 1987 and 1988. There were no high tech suits then and I believe they showed different swimmers/models starting with the then 25-29 age group for January and going thru all the ages by month ending with the 80-84 age group in December. I still have those calendars because I logged and wrote all of my workouts each day, by month. I went over 1 million yards/meters for both years back then. The calendars are similar to what USA Swimming does today in that there is a nice bio of the swimmers of what the swimmers do in and out of the pool. I believe the calendars did not sell very well and that is why they were dropped. The information on the calendar is very similar to the information on the calandar of the USMS Planner. The pictures had some kind of background for swimming.
