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
Maybe. But if we offer free membership and get an additional 50,000 members, how many of them will actually compete? My opinion: almost none of them, since $40 annually is apparently a deal-breaker.
I wouldn't say $40. is a deal breaker, but it can be a deterent.
Especially for those who have no experience with the warm open welcoming master's swim community.
A community and programs which helps swimmers "dedicated to improving their fitness through swimming".
So.... we are brainstorming ideas for growing USMS membership. We're on the same team here.
