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.
Yes, you may swim in a meet as UNAT. As noted by a previous poster, you can swim in individual events but you can't participate on any "legal" relays. A legal relay must consist of four swimmers who all belong to the same club. ("Unattached" isn't a club.)
Our insurance covers you in a meet or a workout no matter whether you are registered with a club or as UNAT, as long as you are registered for the current year (and meet the other insurance requirements; for workouts, for example, everyone in the workout must be a current USMS member.)
And you can register with any LMSC that you like. Some are a little cheaper than others. The drawback is that you will only receive the local communications from that LMSC and not from where you live. So if you register with Alaska, for example, you'll probably receive lots of notices about the upcoming meets in Anchorage!
