Can a swimmer unattach before leaving their present club in anticipation of the 120-day rule requirement?
A swimmer may attach or unattach, at will, with their present club. There is no USA Swimming limitation or requirement [other than the 120-day rule discussed here] which requires the swimmer to compete in an Unattached or Attached status. Many swimmers who anticipate their family’s relocation will unattach well in advance to their moving in order to reduce their required 120 consecutive day wait specified in the 120-day rule once relocated. The swimmer must be aware that they can not enter relays while Unattached.
