Master Swim Team
Floswimming (Online - Video
Sharing)
Many people are much better visual learners
than kinetic ones. With that in mind, I’ve found a way
to video tape swimmers with commentary about technique and post
them on a secure web-site for our team to view. I hope this
is to your liking, Here is a link to the site, and the log-in
information required:

e-mail for future reference!
Check under
“Team Video’s” and I’ll date the video
clips and try to name them
appropriately.
Enjoy, and let
me know what I can do more of with video
taping.

Becoming a
member of our Masters team:
You need two
things:
1) become a
member of the SWAT team. Cost during summer months is $60 per month
per person. We offer a discount for couples.

needed document: MASTERS
MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT

2) Aside from registering with
SWAT, you also need to register with US Masters Swimming. This is
mainly for insurance purposes but you’ll benefit in
other ways for example by receiving the Swimmer magazine. The
cost is $35 per year. A discount if offered for people
registering after August. The online Masters Registration can
be done here: https://www.clubassistant.com/club/USMS.cfm?l=35
When you go to the online form,
please note that Spokane Waves Aquatic Masters (SWAT) is one
of only two or three clubs in the LMSC (most others are
workout teams which are part of Hydropower Masters
club). If you were a member in previous years, you were a
member of Hydropower Masters, so for 2010 registration you
have to click on Select a new club.and then
"different club in the same LMSC" and following this you
select SWAT. New members can simply fill in our club
abbreviation (SWAT) and go from there.
USMS also offers a discount
for couples. In that case you can not register online. You
have to register by using the hard-copy of the form, sent in
two forms and one check ($60) to the registrar. The from can be
found at: http://www.inlandnwmasters.org/site-pdfs/inlandnw-reg-form.pdf
