Who are they?
You may have noticed that we're posting weekly news features at the top of the USMS home page. As we approach the trials, we'd like to run one on the trials and the Masters that have made the cuts and are competing.
If you know of someone who fits this profile, please respond and we'll let everyone know who, what events, and when to check their progress. :banana:
Thanks!

Anyone that pays their $37 (or whatever your LMSC charges). That is the official USMS swimmer. Included in the what, 43,000+ USMS headcount.
You could also belong to YMCA masters, but that's another organization. Or you could be a generic masters swimmer, like a lot of DAMM members who don't register USMS ('cause we have team insurance).

So all of these swimmers actively workout with just a USMS team? Speaks volumes of the teams if that is the case.
no they don't, most of these swimmers are loosly affilated with masters swimming. They are more active in usa swimming.
I found these by using a search tool on the USA Swimming web site. You can search for all swimmers who have made OT cuts in specific events. You can restrict your search by age, so I only searched for the older swimmers. I then looked up the names in the USMS meet results database to see whether they had swum in any Masters meets.

Uh, did I insert that quote right?
Still totally irked you can't search USA SWIMS for the 41+ crowd. Are the two ladies mentioned earlier the only 40+ OT qualifiers?

Hence the question I posed earlier on another blog and got blasted for it. What is a Masters Swimmer?

If they are registered with US Swimming their times will be on there....but only their USS times.
