Adding Events to Nationals

Greetings- Has there been any thought to adding other relay events to the format? (i.e. 400 Free, 400 Medley, 800 Free) They are offered at the local level, why not the National level? Also, if people want to control the size of Nationals, then could you add the relays as swims? That is what the do at the High School, College, YMCA & USS levels and Olympic levels? Just some thoughts on the subject. Thank you, CJ Rushman Southwest Ohio Masters OHIO LMSC Secretary :)

  • CJ First any LMSC can propose changes to the rules. A change to championships would be a rules year change (next year). OHIO LMSC could propose the change. But as long as we are dreaming here. How about if EVERY member of the relay had to have made the NQT during the past two years. That would limit the number of entries and would make it interesting for the spectators. (if you really wanted to make it interesting, to count for points, every swimmer would have to swim NQT or faster or the score does not count. (hmm that might make it too difficult to figure out). or the relay would have to swim 4 times the NQT for that age group or the score would not count ( if the NQT for 45-49 was 2:15.00, the 45+ team would have to swim 9:00.00 or faster or the score does not count). michael
