At risk of "beating a dead horse"....at least in respect to broaching this topic again! I had a number of conversations at convention with people who would like to see USMS move to a 3rd Championship meet in the fall for short course meters.
There are some great Zone meets going on...when you have 600+ going to Long Beach or New England why not up the ante a bit?
Thoughts?
I voted no. SCM is the last relatively easy way to make the Top 10. If you build it, they will come. If you create a National Championship, we shlubs will lose our best chance to squeak into the Permanent Record Book of Swimming Grandeur for Old People.
Take away our Social Security if you must.
Make health insurance so expensive we will be forced to choose between penicillin and Fancy Feast.
But please, please! Do not take away our best chance to preserve the illusion of youth!
