Does membership with USA Swimming (not USMS) require any sort of attachment to a specific club? Or, in other words, can I join USAS and go swim whatever meets they have as an "unattached" swimmer. The master's program I swim with only had USMS affiliation.
On a similar note, do times achieved in a USMS meet have any sort of merrit for making Q times for something like a Grand Prix meet?
You can swim unattached in USA-S. The only caveat to that is that you are limited to meets for all LSC registered swimmers as opposed to meets where only certain invited teams can participate. Not that big a problem. I switched to my daughter's team just to make it easier to enter meets, I just email the coach and he electronically sends in my entries. I'm lazy like that.
As for the times question? Not sure about that.
