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 think more smaller meets would be great and would give practice for bigger meets such as nationals. This nationals being the first one i've ever been too was extremely overwhelming to a beginner like me but i really enjoyed myself and got all personal best times. My only gripe is that the idea of more smaller meets wouldn't work for my neck of the woods. When you live in the middle of nowhere (New Mexico) you may see one meet every 2 to 3 months or you have to travel to ariozna or california to do anything plus it gets extremely expensive. i really don't know what to suggest. there have been many suggestions so far. i think it should stay the way it is so that those who wish experience nationals can.
