Has the Championship Committee, or other entity within USMS ever discussed having a more strict policy of enforcement in regards to the NQT's?
Why do we state that you must have 3 cuts, in order to swim more events? Why not require a swimmer to have 6 cuts in order to swim 6 events?
Just like to understand more from a historical point of view. I have read post that asked, or suggested how to control the size and length of the National meets. Would not having a stricter enforcement of this policy help? Or would it cause swimmers to shy away from these meets?
Just a curious thought.
Thank you.
Good morning,
I think we are bringing up very good points.
I think having NQT's are a good thing. Some people can acheive one, other can achieve all of them. The biggest reason is it gives you something to shoot for. For the most part I have made and NQT in all the events that I normally swim. It is fun to try to make them in "off" events.
I agree with you Dan, it maybe expensive to do but it works at the USA level. How, I do not know.
I suggested this a long time ago. If controling the size of Nationals is an issue, then why not have 2, and East and a West. That is how the old USS Jr. Nationals were. Now they actual have 3. And I believe that they have some sort of regional meets prior to the Nationals.
How about adding events such as 400 Free, 400 Medley and 800 Free Relay at Nationals?
Just some thoughts on the subject.
