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

The AARP has approximately 7-million members. What they offer their members is the following discount benefits: Groceries, Health clubs, Restaurants, Hotels, DVDs, Internet, Health insurance, Apparel, Credit Cards, Auto Insurance, and more.
AARP probably charges a fee to each vendor for access to their membership and/or a commission on sales. (Perhaps they bundle their own insurance?)
That is where they probably monetize their organization. It only cost $40 to become a USMS member. If the USMS offered services like the AARP which included discounts on swim related products, bicycles, race packages, casualty insurance, health club memberships, personal trainers, swimming instructors, Costco discounts etc. etc.. I am sure they could easily make $100 off each member.
50,000 is a good start to raise the venture capital needed to go with an AARP model.
I think this could really grow swimming in amazing ways.
I would be willing to write up in detail the business model and business plan for this if the USMS if they are interested?
