Recently, Natalie Coughlin swam as a USMS registered swimmer in a sanctioned masters meet and requested that her times not count for records or top ten and I believe USMS will honor that request.
This is actually an interesting scenario. Should the times not count for records because the swimmer requests them not be counted? I think I can understand what Coughlin was trying to do, but the fact remains that she did establish new USMS records. How can someone opt out of a record?
