Swimmers, clubs and even coaches get very hung up on the idea that the only benefit to joining USMS is the "insurance coverage".
Sheez!
Frankly, if even the USMS Discussion Forumites think of it in these terms, perhaps it is time again for a full run down review of USMS Membership Benefits.
If I were swimming on my own or with a small group and -no coach, knowing what I know about the USMS, there is no way I would not be registered as a member.
Especially if I cared about improving, stroke technique, or a planned swim practice with a purpose.
Even with a team coach, a masters swimmer can learn so much more to help them improve their swimming with USMS as a resource.
Any one here from the USMS Marketing Committee?
