I have a question on my registration form "Are you a member of another FINA Federation?"
Is USMS a FINA Federation, or is the US the FINA Federation?
Google has failed me, so I had to turn to online friends.
US Aquatic Sport which includes US Masters Swimming, US Swimming, US Diving, US Water Polo and US Syncho Swimming is the parent organization that is the FINA member.
As previously mentioned, you can belong to both US Master Swimming and US Swimming, as well as US Water Polo, US Syncho Swimming and US Diving and still only belong to one FINA federation member.
We do have USMS members who live in other countries - I suspect mostly Canadians, who find it more convenient to attend US Masters Swimming events; but choose not to belong to Canadian Masters Swimming.
Best of luck with your US Swimming ventures (swimming with 15 year olds), and we encourage you to also be a member of US Masters Swimming to participate with the 18+ generations.
