Do you think it might be beneficial for your training and for masters swimming in general if triathletes swam other events on Sat & Sunday? Can you not understand our POV? -- we love to have you come to meets and will cheer for you, but it is different to entirely coopt an important champs meet and thereby exclude us from participating.
Had all of the members of the Potomac Raiders Swim Club in La Plata signed up and filled the distance races, would it be considered co-opting? Would the race organizers be encouraged to contact their coach and ask them to share lanes?
The 45,000 non-competing USMS members are all "real" swimmers. Any of them could have signed up for CZ. If the rules need to be changed for an important champs meet, let's do it!
Until then, I'm going swimming.
