I have seen many of the posts made here from master swimmers from all over the USA, Canada and the World.
It has me wondering about the state of master swimming.
1. Which State has the most swim meets.
2. Which State has the most master swimmers registered.
3. How many master swimmers registered are in the USA
I'm pretty sure we have just over 50k total membership. If you go here:
http://www.usms.org/lmsc/
and click on an LMSC (or choose it from the drop-down list), you get an information page with the membership for that LMSC. Unfortunately there is not an exact matchup between LMSC and state boundaries. But here are some populous LMSCs:
Pacific: almost 11,000 members
South Pacific: about 4600 members
So California total has about 15.5 K membership, about 30% of the total.
I don't think any other states come close to that. Texas seems to have about 2.5K if you add up all its LMSCs; Florida has about 3K between its two.
I've always thought Potomac Valley -- quite small geographically but with 2800 members and 28 clubs -- was one of the most "dense" LMSCs. (You can interpret that descriptor however you wish... :))
