I see that the Championship Committee is finally considering having distance swimmers pay more for their splashes. See www.usms.org/.../champ-2012-3-25-1.pdf. This is long overdue since they are the reason that national championships last so long. If we only had 50’s and 100’s we’d be done by noon every day. Maybe with increased fees swimmers will think twice before entering a 1650.

Why should someone pay more because they are better at longer events? Having to pay mire because someone can swim more than a 50 without needing a break to recover is absurd
Nobody is asking you to pay more because you are soooo truly special and talented that you are able to swim > 50 meters, although I assure you we are all in awe. This about paying fairly for the pool time you use while being as truly special and talented as you are. Really, I mean it: congratulations on how far you can swim!
