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

Don't kid yourself by thinking there is no potential for revenue here outside of dues.
.
Never said there wasn't potential. I asked where usms would make-up for the loss of the member dues. The ideas you suggested, for the most part, are already happening in places.
Making membership free isn't the answer to growing usms. A free membership isn't really free. Somewhere that cost must be made-up. If someone doesn't want to pay $40 to join USMS(regardless of joining a club or not) then USMS isn't for them. $40 for a year is not expensive
