USA swimming ??

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?

  • Here's another factoid for you USA swimmers to be.... You can have relay lead-off splits count, even if they are non-standard relays. So assuming the 2 big rules are met: 1. USA sanction # 2. Meets USMS pool measurement criteria; If you do a fun relay, like the 200 butterfly relay, 4 x 100 IM relay, or the crescendo relay, or whatever it is, and you lead off, then that split can count for USMS top ten.
