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 so Geek.
But I think masters swimming can help the desperate state of a lot of our communities:
Pools are closing
Swim Programs are closing
Swim Coaches don't have large enough programs to be a "full-time professional coach"
Triathletes are racing unsafely
Americans are out of shape and obese
Depression is rampant
Senior citizens are inactive slowing them down faster
How many adults still need or would like to learn how to swim?
Kids needs to see adults leading an active fit lifestyle as an example
Add to the list...
USMS can certainly do their part to spread the love.
1st year free.
Swimming is a good sport but it isn't the answer for all, as chris pointed out. And I don't see how joining usms for free is the cure for any of the above.
