Well, the Wikipedia thing is easy enough to fix...I added two links to the article, one for USMS and one for USA Swimming.

google and see where usms shows up (really easy to do w/ firefox). the first instance i found was on the 7th page of hits. the swimming page at wikipedia, in the links section (at the bottom of the page), includes links to skinny dipping and TI, but no USMS. go figure.

USMS has a page all of its own on wikipedia... en.wikipedia.org/.../United_States_Masters_Swimming

Try googling "Masters Swimming" and see what pops up! - Well, obviously! :)

still... i'm amazed and befuddled that when you google that usms does not pop up in any form till the 7th page of hits. i'd of thought usms had more clout than that in the swimming (web) world. Try googling "Masters Swimming" and see what pops up! -

Another reason I don't care for Google. USMS is on the first page of Yahoo's search.

thanks for the tip on the usms page at wiki... did not even think to search wiki for usms. a tip o' the hat to gufyduck for taking the initiative and adding the usms (etc.) links to the wiki page. i thought about it, but was too lazy to do it at the time. still... i'm amazed and befuddled that when you google that usms does not pop up in any form till the 7th page of hits. i'd of thought usms had more clout than that in the swimming (web) world. just my :2cents: of course if you google usms their web comes right up (the wiki page is still buried)... but ya' gotta know about usms in the first place.

Didn't it imply that you were only fit of you could go sub-5:00 for the 500? That seems a bit harsh, given that only 3 of last year's Top 10 times in my age group (45 - 49) were sub-5:00. I hope to pull that off someday.

Yeah, I think most of the quiz was tongue-in-cheek. ;) But the national exposure for USMS is good! :cheerleader:

There will be some jaws dropping when they see the times and attempt to match them.

Peter Vanderkaay, with his 4:08, can probably quit taking the rest of the quiz after answering that question!
