Colonies Zone SCY Championships - Fairfax VA

I agree that wookiee is right, but only to a point. They're not the only team that does this, but they really are the only one large enough to have this type of impact. They're also the only ones who have been repeatedly asked to run a meet and not even attempted to try (even with access to a wealth of pools in multiple jurisdictions), and the only ones who were asked by their own head coach, after a similar situation a few years ago, to not use the CZ meet as a time trial meet, to turn around and do it again (with the same "assistant" coach leading the charge, mind you). It could certainly lead one to surmise that they don't really give a crap about masters swimming or their fellow masters swimmers. As Penguinfan noted above, unless and until a rule change is made for championship meets, " going swimming" -- no matter who it penalizes and no matter what the adverse effects upon the meet.
