Hi Mr. Clemmons,
I am curious as to the reason why a swimmer cannot enter both the 1500 and 800 freestyle events in the summer nationals. Being a long-distance specialist and having to choose between the two events in a national championship is disappointing. I have qualified for every freestyle event from the 100 to the 1500. Is this same rule applied in the spring nationals whereby a swimmer can only swim the 1650 or the 1000, but not both? I have Canadian friends swimming in their nationals meet this weekend and they are allowed to swim both in a 3-day period.
