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?
If I want to do distance events at USA-S meets, I will have to entice others to come along so I can a counter and a timer there. I read some of the entry forms for the Mid Atlantic Region and they even require timers for the 400 events. Hopefully, I can get a training mate to go with me to some of these local meets in the spring and summer this year. But, I need to swim these meets for the challenge and to see what I can do against 15 year olds!!!
