Greensboro Nats - Who's In?

Chris, would your committee also extend the proposal to accept US-A Swimming standards for USMS members participating in those meets. They do not require measurements to verify bulkhead placement after each session of the meet. We will look at that issue separately. Personally I think the international thing has a better chance of passing if it is decoupled from the USA-S issue. It is counterintuitive that a FINA WR is not eligible for USMS top ten or records, this is more a matter of respecting other masters NGBs and FINA masters standards. However, FINA doesn't recognize anything done at a USA-S meet. The committee will look at domestic measurements more generally and decide what (if any) rule proposals to make. But of course, LMSCs can also propose rule changes so if the officers in your LMSC feel strongly about this issue then I encourage your LMSC to submit something.
