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
Cut and pasted from the USMS Guide To Operations:
Combined Meets
With the consent of all (co-)hosting teams and the LSC and LMSC, a combined meet may be sanctioned by both USA
Swimming and USMS and all swimmers competing according to USA Swimming rules. This mechanism allows the meet
host(s) to seed the event as they normally would, based upon times, with USA Swimming and USMS members combined in
heats without specific lanes allocated to one organization or the other. There are restrictions however. A divider must
separate members of each organization. A lane line is sufficient to achieve the separation. This does preclude, for example,
swimming two-to-a-lane with a member of each organization in the same lane. Warm-up and warm-down should be
conducted in separate lanes. Relay teams must consist of members of the same organization.
