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.

I was surprise about Dickie Ferandez time and when I read that he started as an adult and doing 49 in the 100 yard freestyle. This is under the Arizona website under pictures.

Like I said in my last post, claims of starting swimming past teenage years and achieving a 49 seconds for the 100 free, are bogus:
when I check such claims against the criterions I put in my last post (and not by naively reading an official web site), they are never true yet.
Understand carefully the criterions checking the validity of the claims of starting swimming way past teenage years, criterions that I wrote in my previous post.

It applies to NQTs for men ages 30 to 34, also.

Some people are natural swimmers which are able to overcome a late start.

That's what I am in the rankings of Nationals, filled with former age-groupers around my placing.
That's what I am in workouts, also:
for example, you as a former age group swimmer -and plenty of others like you-, you cannot begin to touch me in any freestyle distance, me being the late starter;
with any of your times stated in another thread, from age group swimming (a 1:02 in 100 free) until now as a slower adult.

And in Paul Smith case I think if he started at 40 he would probably be doing a 52 for a 100 yard freestyle because he's more naturally talent than either of us.

I don't think so.
I think that your statement is sentiment (in the style of: "-You look sooo fast. How fast are you in a 100 yards free?", "-Guess!", "-I don't know. 35 seconds, maybe?"), and is not first hand knowledge of this topic from readings, training and competitions like mine is.
I have to see documented evidence of passing the strict criterions for a late start -which I enumerated in my previous post-, of a late starter who overtakes me.
Heck, I have to see documented evidence -passing the strict criterions for a late start- of the starter in swimming way after teenage years who goes for the first time in history under 11:50 in 1000 free and under 56 in 100 free.
