swimming program, secondary insurance for your club, the Pacific 
Masters web site and the newsletter. Join early!!

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.
