Anyone know if there were any issues with time entries to the SWIMS database? I just looked and my swims that I requested to be entered are not listed. It's only been 2 weeks but...
Sorry for the delay, but this morning was the first time I've seen Dr. Wright in a while. Dowain said all the times that were requested have been submitted to USA Swimming. You cannot retroactively request submissions. The form had to be filled out before completion of the last event ta the Masters meet.
The times have not been posted due to consternation over butterfly rules. I guess in Masters, a breaststroke kick is legal during fly, but not in USA Swimming. There isn't official documentation that the butterfly swims were in compliance with USA Swimming rules. Apparently this being discussed within USA Swimming, but all other strokes will count for sure.
DISCLAIMER: I am not an official with USMS, USA Swimming or this year's Masters Nationals. I just being a nice guy and passing on information told directly to me by Dowain Wright, who was the Meet Director at Masters Nationals.
The reason for the disclaimer is one previous time I shared a discussion I had about the meet with Dowain. Some of it was misleading and an USMS official got his panties in a bunch and sent me a vigorous Private Message telling me to avoid posting anything that is not verifiable official doctrine. Silly me, I must have misunderstood "Discussion Forum".
