RENO WINNERS MEET
The 2004 Reno Winners meet  will be held December 4, 2005 in Reno, 
Nevada. This short  course yards meet usually attracts less than 100 
swimmers  so entering back to back events is not advised. The Reno 
meet is the last event of 2004. You must show your 2004  or 2005 USMS 
membership card.

INDIVIDUAL REGISTRATION
2005 is almost here. You can now re-register for the 2005 year.

Part of your registration fee pays for Pacific Masters Swimming so we 
can provide services to you. Services that include, competitive 
swimming program, secondary insurance for your club, the Pacific 
Masters web site and the newsletter. Join early!!

Your registration also pays for the magazine from USMS on swimming.

MAGAZINE FOR MEMBERS
There has been misleading and confusing information regarding the 
magazine.  As a benefit of membership, you will continue to receive a 
magazine, it just won't be SWIM Magazine. The leadership of USMS, 
after considered investigation, discussion, and evaluation, has 
decided to publish its own magazine which will be called USMS Swimmer 
and will be sent to each member on a bi-monthly basis, just as you 
receive currently. The PMS Newsletter will continue to be inserted 
into the magazine for your convenience.  USMS is confident that you 
will enjoy this new publication and use it to enhance your swimming 
knowledge and awareness.
