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.

4:46? You should definitely focus on the distance events.
Yes, I think -and people in my team think also-, that with proper preparation I can become fair in middle distance and in distance freestyle.
When I came to San Diego two and a half years ago, with swimming in mind, I couldn't have done a 4:46 surprise.
Competitive coaching in swimming, diet (I am now 156 pounds for 6"0', as opposed to 168 three years ago), weightlifting and lots of rest, they bring me surprises like this one.
Technique in flip turns and breathing thru asthma, are still chores to me, but they are on the menu.
We shall see.
