I was wondering if it was the right forum to post this question. I guess so since I am under the impression that some members here are involved in the USMS organization.
Until not long ago, I thought that the Master Swimmers Circuit, worldwide, was very healthy all around the globe in most developed countries. It doesn't seem to be the case though.
Would anyone know about how well organized Master Swimmers are in the UK (GB more specifically) as well as in Croatia?
If you come from a Country other than US, Canada and Australia, I'd like to hear about you too.
Thanks in advance.

I think they need to belong to the ASA (the British swimming association) to compete in a Masters event and this may require joining a club. If you or they post on the swimclub.co.uk website someone there is likely to know.
I swam Masters in the UK for 10 years on and off.... To compete you do need to belong to the ASA and this is done through a club. I never saw any "UNAT" swimmers compete so approaching their local club would be the best bet. Also with the UK being a bit smaller than the USA most people can find a choice of clubs within 1/2 hour drive of home!
Some clubs have a dedicated Masters squad, some you get to swim with the older kids and others have an "adult swim" lane whereby you don't get coached, but you do get pool-time.
