Why not create and organize some new teams by college names under separate USMS affiliations to help create additional interest in Masters Swimming an potentially recruite former swimming alumni for relays?
I know several 40+ Texas alumns that could crush old SMU (pigmy horses) in a 200 medley.

But are you superteams or club teams, eh?
We, Pacific Masters compete with the teams we train with for the most part. Some swimmers train with teams that don't attend meets together, so they register with competetive teams to swim on relays, and continue to train with their "home" team. The closest thing we have to a "Super Team" in Pacific is the Olympic Club, but we love them anyway. Most of the teams in Pacific are neighborhood teams, some of the larger teams might be made up of folks from one or two cities. Our club (250+ members) trains in Oakland, but we have members from Castro Valley, Berkeley, Piedmont, and surrounding suburbs. Make no mistake,tho' we are club teams for sure. :cool:
