I don't know if it's plausible to do USMS-acceptable measurements yourself.
To be honest, I don't think they should allow anyone who is competing to do the measurements, even if properly trained. It's too much of a conflict of interest. If the pool ends up being too short you might be tempted to say "close enough."
You mention the Canadian meet staff wouldn't need to do anything differently, but they would if the pool turns out to be short. They'd have to delay the meet and move the bulkhead. Either that or tell you to take a hike! :canada::bolt:
