USMS SWIMMER, the new official magazine of United States Masters Swimming, will be launched with the March 2005 issue. All registered members of USMS will receive this bimonthly publication as a benefit of their membership. Subscriptions are also available for non-members. USMS SWIMMER will offer a bold new design and a sharp editorial focus that helps swimmers improve fitness and train for specific goals. USMS SWIMMER also provides leading-edge information that supports a healthy lifestyle ... a prime goal of USMS members. |
The parameters for choosing meets to be listed are:
- All zone championships should be listed;
- Other large meets and events that normally draw from multiple LMSC's should be listed;
- Each LMSC should have at least one event listed each year;
- Meets that LMSC's would like to promote, such as a new event which needs publicity, should be listed;
- The summer issue should include as many open water swims as possible;
- Meets should be listed in a timely fashion in order to appear in the magazine before the entry deadline passes; and
- Meets listed must be sanctioned USMS meets.
Information needed to get a listing in the magazine is:
- Date of meet;
- Name of meet;
- Location (nearest city/town);
- Course (SCY, SCM, SCY, Open Water);
- Length of swim (open water only);
- Name and e-mail address (optional) of contact; and

Swim is published bi-monthly and normally delivered the first week of the publication month. For example, the January/February issue will arrive the first week of January. Meets to be listed must have dates and entry deadlines after the delivery date. In addition, the list of meets must be given to the Swim editor about 2½ months prior to publication.
