So I see back in Feb Megan broke 3 Masters world records and recently I was just reading Dara Torres Book 'Age is just a number' and something caught my eye...
pg. 126 "FINA, the international governing body of swimming, requires a swimmer to sit out for a nine month period from events they recognize (this does not include Masters) after declaring an intent to come back and swim.
Ok so does this mean that if Jendrick is now a masters swimmer she would have to join USS swimming and quit masters and wait for 9 months before she could swim in say Olympic Trials?
Same question with Dara Torres - did she have to first quit masters and join USS and wait 9 months prior to doing any international meets?
Or could Jendrick be in Masters and USS at the same time?
Just got me curious. Thanks in advance. :)

She was at a USS meet my son was in last month. People seemed surprised she to see her racing (I didn't get to watch). When my son was getting an autograph another parent (us old folks who stand in the back) asked if she was coming out of retirement again and she laughed and said, "I haven't retired!"
