Is it possible to register unattached and still swim in a meet?
There suddenly is a fee for me to register with a team. Since I seldom swim in a meet (but would like the option), I'm wondering if this is possible.
Also, do you have to register in the LMSC where you live? I'm noticing some wide variances in LMSC fees.
Tim, with all due respect we have been telling people for the last 6 months that we would be requiring USMS membership to be a part of MAC. As we have explained in detail, this is not to in any way to force or even suggest that our members swim in meets. Rather we believe that there is value in the membership for both the swimmer and the club....one of which for us means we will be dropping the 3rd party insurance we pay close to $3000 a year for and will be able to keep your dues at $60 a month.
