I just started swimming masters and this spring will be my first Nationals. It seems there are no 400 medley/free or 800 free relays at Nationals. Can someone please verify this? Does this mean that the National records for these events are set at regular "in season" meets?
Thanks in advance.
:rolleyes:
Ok, so shave for Regionals. The 800 and 400 relays are actually relatively new additions to the Masters rule book. There were only 200s at all for a long time. We have not added the longer relays because of the added time demands (as previously stated) to an already long meet. Perhaps the championship committee will at some point consider swapping or adding relays from year to year, but that will be in the distant future, if at all.
So, if you want to set relay records in 400 or 800 relays, taper and shave for Regionals. Cheers!
