As well, this "new" poll is launched in an effort to quiet swimmers who felt they did not have a voice in the decisions made in masters swimming last year.
Regardless of the outcome, there is no doubt that this USMS Discussion Forum represents only a very small percentage of the membership.
Communication out to coaches who will then speak to their swimmers is the only solution.
However we still don't even have direct communication with a large percent of masters coaches and workout group leaders.
Until that situation improves or happens, there are always going to be athletes paying their USMS dues with no voice in the decisions of the organization.
I'm very happy we finally have a paid Club Development Committee at USMS.
Hope to see them choose coach communication as their #1 priority.
But that is only my personal opinion.
