I'm guessing KPN is more interested in FINA recognized WR's vs. USMS records, I may be wrong but thought that Brent Barnes swims for Japan but doesn't reside there.
As for swimming for a club team in another country I have no idea why but am guessing some swimmers from over there approached her. if no US club that she typically swims for (like San Diego, remember she lives on Kona and I'm doubtful any others from there are going) was fielding enough swimmers why not?
I go back to something I brought up before Worlds at Stanford, FINA should change the rules and allow us to represent our countries vs. swim at the club level for an event like Worlds.
