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
Mr R -
I'm not talking about all the "club" dues etc that add to the overall cost of practicing at any particular "club" venue, just the USMS/USAS memberships. One would still have to deal with all local club fees if one swam with a particular club.
However, for the many "independent" swimmers going it solo out here in the hinterlands, it would open up more opportunities to participate across both organizations.
I tried to make an analogy using two clubs to convey my point about you trying to compare the two organizations (USA-S/USMS). If you understand why you can't merge two clubs, hopefully you can understand you can't merge the two organizations because they are also two fully separate entities.
