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.
For what it's worth, nobody in USMS was even aware of this idea, so if anybody has any issues with what we've done please blame Michael and I and not the rest of the Championship Committee because I never asked for an endorsement to do this. I figure it would be pretty hard to get fired from being a volunteer...:D

Uh - Jeff - you did not get the message, Nadine accepted our "resignations."
