Howdy,
Just for kicks and grins, should USMS be United States Masters Swimming. After all, very few of us are "Masters." Synchro has "grand masters" for those adult members who were nationally ranked when they were younger. I like the idea of having a category that separates the elite from the rest of us lap swimmers.
But, aside from that, what else could we call ourselves?
a) United States Senior Swimming
b) United States Adult Senior Swimming
c) Adult Senior Swimming
Any other ideas??

I'm happy with the current name since being a Master seems appropriate to my age and ability. :)
Some of the other suggestions such as Adult don't work well in my case because anyone who knows me knows it's hard to find any trace of an adult in me.
Lastly, having an independent organization seems best. Affiliations and working more closely with other swim organizations seems always to be a good thing but trying to put so many under one umbrella usually ensures some are going to get very wet.
