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.
Whiny distance dweebs. This proposal is rational. We should pay for the resources we use, and time is a limited resource at meets.
Actually, sprinters should pay more as without the distance events the whining by sprinters would be even worse than it already is since they couldn't get their requisite 9 or 10 day rest between events.
The horror of that 51st yard is unbearable!
