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?

Except that most USA-S sessions are 2-3 hours at most. For example, the 9-10 sessions this past weekend were 2 hours.
Totally agree. Every USA-S meet I've been to in the past year ran FAST. Almost to the detriment of my not getting enough rest at times. . . They are so not like the meets I attended in the '80s. And I'm in the senior/ open sessions and I always do the distance events.
