Industry News: United States Masters Swimming and College Swimming Coaches Announce New Program
I like the concept and have always felt that there was an opportunity to coordinate more with colleges when they are in the vicinity of masters teams...will be interesting to see how it works out. I still however believe that just as big of an opportunity exists to partner with High School swimming. My impression is that high school grads who don't go on to swim in college generally have no idea that masters swimming exists.

In the proposed USMS 2008 Action Plan: www.usms.org/.../actionplan.pdf
There is a proposal (of many) to create a swim festival and link it to the NCAA championships. If I understood it correctly, the swim festival would consist of the NCAA's followed or held in conjunction with a USMS national championship.
I think that the idea is to show college swimmers that there is life after college with the USMS (and that old geezers like TP can still get it on).
