PACIFIC MASTERS CLUBS
A list of USMS clubs was recently published. In terms of number of 
members, Pacific Masters Clubs were (1) DAM, ( 3) MELO,  (4) WCM, (5) 
USF, (8) SCSC (9) SCAM and (10) MAM (non LMSC clubs). Congratulations 
to the coaches and membership of these top ten clubs.

Most increases in membership is based upon one person telling telling 
another about their club. Tell your friends about your swimming club.

INDIVIDUAL REGISTRATION
Well it is January, it is now time to register - if you havent done 
it already. In the last update, I said it would be nice of everyone 
re-registered in the last couple of weeks of the year. Many of you 
did. Nancy has been overwhelmed with 2003 registrations. There has 
been over 2500 already registered and about another 500 still needing 
to be registered. If you have registered and have not yet received 
your 2003 card, she is working on the backlog.

It is important that your club reregister. A person cannot be 
register to a club until that club has registered. This is the first 
year that a permanent number is used, so it will not be the same type 
number.

Please be sure to write in your current registration number.

have a good week.
