Nobody said he was the fastest on the planet. People are commenting because Kirk Nelson mentioned these swims on the broken records thread and that they break USMS Records. I think that we as USMS members should be proud when one of our members is achieving success. I really don't think we should be insulting our members because they are not swimming as fast as professional swimmers and olympians. This is the second time this has happened on this forum and I don't appreciate this at all especially from you Ande, because you seem to really encourage masters swimmers to do there best and be happy with performances and goals that they achieve. I don't think anyone on here is being overly boastful about this so I don't see any reason why there are insults.
Frank,
I was just presenting information, wasn't trying to insult anyone. Kevin's a remarkable swimmer, it's great he's swimming in USMS meets & breaking records.
I deleted my post & now it only exists because you quoted it.
Should USMS and FINA recognize times done by swimmers of various ages as records even if they aren't usms members or submit the times to USMS or FINA?
