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.
Jim, I think what secondheart was proposing was really potentitally 16 elite heats (top 8 for each age group), followed by the rest in mixed age-group heats by time. Of course, for some of the older age-groups we don't have 8 people entered in some events. I like the idea, but I'm not sure it would save much time.
