USMS = Traveling Swimmers' Savior

Patrick W. Brundage
Though I frequently rave about my semi-national health club chain for its workout benefits when I travel, nothing comes close to what I consider the #1 benefit of USMS: dropping in for workouts in random cities around the US. In the last 3 years, I've swum with teams in over 20 different pools (forums.usms.org/blog.php, many times for free, always with a hearty welcome and a great workout. I've swum in some of the 'storied' pools of our nation, with some of USMS' legendary coaches and teams, and met some neat people across the land. If you're not taking advantage of this benefit, do so on your next trip. You won't be disappointed. If you're part of a Masters team that hasn't recently updated your website or info on http://www.usms.org/placswim/, do so and enjoy some friendly visitors. What's your favorite drop-in swim experience?

    A great topic since I just benefitted from a welcoming Masters team at Yale University last week. Visiting New Haven for business, I was able to swim everyday last week with a great group of swimmers lead by Dr. Joe Z. An absolutely historic venue given the contributions of collegiate great, Coach Kiputh. Nothing makes a business trip easier than keeping your workout routine. I was also lucky on trips to Mesa AZ, and Huntsville, AL this year. Bottom Line: please encourage your team to keep your club's info and a point of contact up to date on the "Places to Swim" section of USMS.org. Tree
