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.
Matt,
notice that your examples of talent are strictly of youngsters.
Not of their parents, who would have been then of my age when I am swimming:
take any father in your two examples of talented youngsters;
he must know how to swim;
not stronger than me, though.
To show that your two examples for determining talent are wrong in the case of a late starter, my swimming coach tells me that as a youngster when he started taking skiing lessons together with his parents, he was progressing by leaps and bounds compared to them.
A valid comparison of talent for me, is in between people who started swimming late and me.
This post is rewording the obvious.
