This section of the Metropolitan LMSC website is primarily for Event Directors, but also a terrific resource for both new and experienced swimmers. Most forms and information in this section is posted in either PDF or Microsoft WORD file format. If you have questions, contact the Event Sanction Chairperson Lisa Baumann or contact the USMS National Office to order publications. Download FREE Acrobat Reader for PDF files.

Event directors should review and discuss both their event and the following forms/information with the Event Sanction Chairperson. In addition, event directors are strongly urged to register with United States Masters Swimming through the Metropolitan LMSC and make every effort to attend LMSC Board and General Meetings to remain aware of developments, rule changes, core objectives, current news, event scheduling, etc.
