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:

Don't forget Dublin, Alameda, Richmond, Livermore, Pleasanton, Lafayette, San Leandro, Vacaville - wow - where else?
Are you even here legally? What can we do to get this guy deported back to Great England or Tonyblairville? My cousin is an atty in the DC area. Maybe I can retain her and Fort to start deportation hearings.
Sadly you'll have to look for a felony conviction. I am as American as you, in fact moreso because I am an immigrant. Last I check being slow at Front Crawl and ragging on you don't quite reach that level of crime...and some folk in fact, condsider my zippy one liners at you an art form...
:p
Hey, what are you guys trying to do, take a little steam out of Walnut Creek. You'll have to offer more than Motrin and Coffee to pry those guys loose.
Forget about Joe McCarthy too, he's a Manatee!
Remember, in the Pacific LMSC we compete on our real teams!:drink:
That's what I'm talking about!
Not sure how that computes, but whatever.
Isn't this a nation build of tired, huddled masses?? Well Geek there maybe a surprise for you yet...you'll just have to be a good boy.
