So why don't we end all this angst over sandbagging/fast-seeding and require people to enter their best times from SWIMS within some reasonable timeframe (e.g, last 3 years)? Otherwise, NT.
I think it's been discussed. I'm sure lots of people would be upset if USMS was so heavy-handed. There are other practical reasons, I think I remember the championship committee discussing it at one point.
I would predict that NT would be quite a bit worse than allowing swimmers to guesstimate their times. And I don't think NT is allowed in nationals anyway.
(It isn't called SWIMS but the distinctly less-pithy name of ERDB, the "Event Results Database".)
