Swimming at USS meets

Hi-- Anyone else (who's not in their 20's) ever swim USS meets? I entered one this weekend and am now nervous that I will (at 41) stick out like a sore thumb. My times should be somewhere in the middle of the pack but I'm wondering how dorky I will feel walking up to the blocks. Just curious to hear about anyone else's USS swimming experiences... Thanks!

  • Just F.Y.I.--my USA-S (I'm still not used to not calling it USS) LSC has either normal registration ($64 for the year) or a "seasonal" registration for 150 days for $34. I think many LSC's do this. If you only want to swim one or two meets for the season (like I did) you can do the seasonal. If you want to register for all of 2008 you can do it now and that registration includes the last few months of 2007. That and your entry marked as unattached is all you need... Thanks Amy! I got my USS card in the mail a couple months ago! I guess I probably need to print out the manual entry form, send check, etc. Most entries just seem to be submitted electronically by teams. Yes, here I come, DFL. I don't think I can hide like you though.
