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.

At USMS’s premier competitive event, everyone should be able to swim against their competition. That is my point. I do not want to argue with Elaine about inclusiveness. I don’t care how fast or slow she swims her 400 IM or 200 Fly (but I wish her luck). I just want to swim against my competition in the National Championships—the only opportunity I have all year to swim in my age group.
