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.
I applaud this long overdue initiative. We all like a free lunch - but there is no such thing, someone always has to pay. Pool time is expensive and those who use it longer should pay their fair share. Does everyone pay the same cab fare no matter how far they travel? the same train fare? etc. etc.
