WHY the rule this year regarding 1000 OR 1650 but not BOTH?
I have been swimming both, back to back, consistently, in championship meets (and BTW placing in the top 10) for several years. Distance is my forte and it's simply not fair to restrict a swimmer from doing both, especially if they can "handle" it. There are all sorts of qualifying rules, a simple restriction / requirement on times could solve any perceived problems by the meet administrators. IMHO this is NOT FAIR....:(
Right, all, however tightening up time restrictions / qualifications could solve those issues.
You maintain not allowing swimmers to swim both the 1000 and 1650 isn't fair, so how then would it be fair to have time standards only for these events?
