Please send me an email so that I can get some more details from you.

The general answer is that international swimmers may participate in our sanctioned events if they are members of their country&amp;#39;s swimming federation and have the paperwork to prove it.  If they have a membership card, that is what we need to see.  Some countries don&amp;#39;t issue cards and in those cases I believe we need to see a letter of introduction from their country&amp;#39;s federation that indicates they are a member in good standing.
