I just heard through a reliable source that the Kingdom Swim had to forsake there USMS Championship designation for the 10-Mile event. I also understand the race will go on without USMS. (
If this turns out to be true I will wish I had not renewed my membership in USMS this year. Kingdom Swim is the only event where I have ever presented my membership number. Next year I will gladly send my $35? to IROC. I am sure they would put it to good use.
I do appreciate the flog, magazine and the forum, but, I am feeling turned off on USMS. I am solely an open water swimmer. I don't swim with a team and have never been to a pool meet. I wonder how unique I am among the membership?
