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.
Thank you for re-stating these facts, Cynthia:
for the benefit of the public, it reasserts performance in context.
The person critiquing my swimming at the 2003 Short Course Nationals before your post -Sally Dillon-, lacks in thinking:
1.) she inquires whether I am 'uncoachable' in character, based on judgment of my breathing and turns one year apart, but she didn't absorb facts and she doesn't know me;
2.) in trumpeting here that she is critiquing my training, she braggs about doing little volume compared to the volume that I do, and about her focus on technique being better than my focus on VO2Max;
This leads her to swimming the 100 yards free in 1:05.08 at the 2003 Short Course Nationals.
My 58.40 in the 100 yards free at the 2003 Short Course Nationals -almost seven seconds faster than her 1:05.08-, together with considering the handicap that I overcome as a late starter, show that I am 'coachable' with training in volume, technique and intensity necessary to achieve much faster swimming than her's.
