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.
Talking about slowdowns, someone on this site pointed out a little meet at Mission Viejo this year and Brain Goodell, who probably rarely worksout these days swam a 56.0 in 100 yard freestyle, so you Ion don't swim that slow. It just shows that his great swimming ability was develop a lot by swimming 20,000 meters or yards a day when he was a youngster and when he stop swimming or rarely workout in swimming all these years, he wasn't better than many swimmers in the 40 to 44 year old age group.
