The United States Aquatic Sports Convention will be held at the Hyatt Regency Dallas at Reunion, Dallas, Texas from September 15-19, 2010. Registration forms, travel, shuttle, and tourist information is available on the USAS website.

The USMS Convention schedule is available on the USMS Annual Convention page at usms.org. Additional information including the convention packet will be posted as it is finalized.

All delegates (voting and non-voting) must register for the Convention. Please use the Delegate Registration Form found on the USAS website to register. Registration forms are to be sent to USAS Delegate Registration, 16700 Indigo Rd, Lakeville, MN 55044-5613. Fee for registration postmarked by August 23th is $150, on or after August 24th is $180. If you haven't sent yours in yet, please do so soon! 

• Available this year is Group Registration, for groups of 5 or more. The group registration form can also be found on the USAS website.
• If your LMSC has not sent the names and contact information for your delegates to USMS Secretary C.J. Rushman, please do so ASAP. If your LMSC will not be sending a delegate, also let C.J. know.
• The cut-off date for the Hyatt is Sunday, August 23rd or when they reach capacity for room reservations at the convention rate. Again, if you have not made your reservation, get going! 
• If you or a delegate from your LMSC are in need of a roommate, Tracy Grilli will be providing her matchmaker services again this year.  Send her an e-mail or call 941-256-8767 x 317 with specifics and she will do her best to be sure everyone looking for a roommate is matched up!

U.S. Masters Swimming is really making an attempt to "go green." Once the Convention packet is completed with all announcements, schedules, and reports  from the members of the Executive Committee, Board of Directors, National Office Staff, Special Assignments, Committee Reports and Agendas, Elections, Proposed Budget, Rules & Open Water/Long Distance Proposals and Emergency Legislation Proposals, an e-mail with a link to the packet on the USMS website will be sent to all who will be attending. At that time, if you prefer that a hard copy be sent, please contact Tracy and she will have one printed/mailed to you. We are suggesting that those who bring their laptops to convention please download the file to your computer and refer to the electronic copy.
 
The mailing of the packet is scheduled for late August/early September. Once you receive this, it is your responsibility to read this completely BEFORE you arrive at convention so you are prepared.

We would like to recognize those LMSCs that have performed an outstanding job in registering their members this year.
