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 am a firm believer that "talent" is made not given. Oh, yes, some swimmers have more bouyancy, some are taller, etc , but I think that anyone can make the NQT if they work hard for it. Regardless of age-group. I think Ion can make it, but he needs a lot of stroke work and the correct training. It should be clear by now that 10,000 yards per day doesn't work.
