The company’s stated goal is to become “the Amazon of human enhancement” for which they believe there is a trillion dollar market.https://community.usms.org/events/f/event-directors/33235/south-central-lcm-zones-2026/299259Fri, 15 May 2026 20:05:00 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:cf6c5810-a8f8-4322-90a1-7afa8b7ac6c8Nicole ChristensenIt was announced at the South Central Zone annual meeting last August that no club or group had put in a bid to run a LCM Zone Champs meet and several had been asked but none able, or willing. Every LMSC was asked if they had any potential hosts. We will be having a SCM championship for the first time Nov 14-15, 2026.

Because USMS doesn’t have a policy prohibiting the use of performance enhancing drugs (but of course we do have a policy addressing the transgender athlete who competed at Nationals last year).https://community.usms.org/events/f/pool-events/33225/has-anybody-created-an-updated-motivational-times-chart-for-masters-swimmers/299253Wed, 13 May 2026 21:25:00 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:19fd03f1-926d-4013-b943-2c7b1858cb01Elaine KrugmanI just checked out swimminglevel.com and it is not helpful for me, because it is only for freestyle. I do not compete in any freestyle events, so I need it for the other strokes and IM.https://community.usms.org/events/f/usms-national-championship-international-events/33234/enhanced-games/299251Wed, 13 May 2026 16:26:00 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:5d1e8ef3-9d56-4388-9991-6ca4d6ceeb83GullThanks!

You are one of the Forumites I have missed! I hope life has been treating you well.https://community.usms.org/events/f/pool-events/33225/has-anybody-created-an-updated-motivational-times-chart-for-masters-swimmers/299249Wed, 13 May 2026 15:40:00 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:b417a081-bb60-4b5c-bbc9-4af0c8befe20Elaine KrugmanThanks for your response, Jennifer! I appreciate your like to swimminglevel.com . I was unfamiliar with this site and will check it out. I am very familiar with NQT's, but they are out of reach for me anymore. The last time I made them was in 2013 for all three breaststroke events, but two hip surgeries later, I have never been able to reach them again. I can relate more to the typical scenario you outlined. The last time one was created (by another Masters swimmer) was a 2024 SCY chart, and I am still using it today, because it's all I have. Prior to that one, another Forumite, "Swimosaur" (from the old Discussion Forums) had created Motivational Times Charts. Not knowing how they were done, I am unable to create my own. If you know how to create one, I would LOVE IT! Here is the one from 2024: /cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/1242/2024-USMS-Motivational-Swim-Times.pdfhttps://community.usms.org/events/f/usms-national-championship-international-events/33234/enhanced-gamesTue, 12 May 2026 19:14:00 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:b39dbed3-fd07-4e48-8924-316946fe8ee3GullWill swimmers who are participating in the Enhanced Games on May 24 be eligible to compete, win awards and set records in USMS sanctioned events, including national championships?https://community.usms.org/events/f/pool-events/33225/has-anybody-created-an-updated-motivational-times-chart-for-masters-swimmers/299248Tue, 12 May 2026 18:29:00 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:fc1f04ff-410e-411e-8521-5b5ef413d027Jennifer TranI think NQTs are the closest to what we have in Motivational Times, as they are the top 10 times + 10-15%: https://www.usms.org/events/national-championships/pool-national-championships/national-qualifying-times . When I first started, I used to reference this Swimming Levels site, which provides times for distances by age and experience level: https://swimminglevel.com/swimming-times . However, they do not have a source. What do you think about this? I would love a Motivational Times Chart! One way is to take times from the Event Ranking and create B, BB, A, AA, AAA, AAAA motivational standards based on percentiles: https://www.usms.org/comp/meets/toptimes.php . What do you think about this?https://community.usms.org/events/f/pool-events/33225/has-anybody-created-an-updated-motivational-times-chart-for-masters-swimmersWed, 29 Apr 2026 21:57:00 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:bbe55645-578e-4e0a-a28e-f87ec9cfe38eElaine KrugmanI would love to see an updated Motivational Times Chart for Masters swimmers. Does anybody out there have a more recent one? Thanks!https://community.usms.org/events/f/pool-events/33222/usms-results-data-analysis/299226Wed, 29 Apr 2026 14:43:00 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:580e79ee-09f1-472a-a191-e518018b981eJennifer TranThank you for feedback and kind words. It’s super helpful to get feedback. I will think about adding splits. It can be done but is slightly more technically complicated. It would be easier to implement when USMS provides API access to its data.https://community.usms.org/events/f/pool-events/33222/usms-results-data-analysis/299225Wed, 29 Apr 2026 12:04:00 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:2e853aed-8ef1-4aee-a587-35c7f4989c0e3URXXI like the graphic display of events swam. I have always been a marh geek, and graphs are so cool! Your recent addition of events swam vs available is a plus. Once again, being a math head i am constantly analyzing splits, but adding them to this site seems a little cumbersome. I am very happy with what you have done, and thank you.https://community.usms.org/events/f/pool-events/33222/usms-results-data-analysis/299224Tue, 28 Apr 2026 23:24:00 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:6db49f5e-0096-40c8-bc06-4dffec537c4dJennifer TranHello all, I completely updated the website UI with a new design! I added Event Coverage - Have you raced all distances in all strokes at meets? This shows whether you have raced all of the events in the stroke and course. The idea is to encourage folks to try new strokes, events, and courses at meets, and to encourage our less "competitive," "time"-driven folks to come out to meets and eventually compete for a "bingo" card of all events. You can also see your FLOG distance for those who are using it. And for those who don't, a link to use it!https://community.usms.org/events/f/pool-events/33222/usms-results-data-analysis/299223Tue, 28 Apr 2026 23:16:00 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:4fe849f9-f0ea-4ea9-8178-d01d349c571cJennifer TranThank you so much for taking a look!
