I am not usually one to complain about swim meets, since I appreciate all the hard work that goes in to putting one on.... And I fully understand that this is the largest LCM Nationals in the history of Masters Swimming....
But really...
Not being able to swim against your competition in the 200's???
This is not a local meet. This is the Nationals. The ONLY time I get to swim against my own age group.
There needs to be a better solution.
For the National Championships, yes I think nonqualified events should be dropped before qualified events (i.e. a qualified 6th event). There can be 'free' events if there is low participation at Nationals but not at the largest event in the history of the sport. I think it diminishes the spirit of a National Championship when the focus is on participation.
