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?

    Except that most USA-S sessions are 2-3 hours at most. For example, the 9-10 sessions this past weekend were 2 hours. Not in our neck of the woods, and a family with 2 swimmers may be there more than one session even if the sessions are short. Our 8&Unders get a short session, but the others usually are there going on 4 hours or more for the older kids. Especially "A" meets run as prelims/finals.
