Interesting to confirm yesterday that USMS will not sanction dual meets between clubs...I had heard rumors but now that we were looking into organizing one I'm told we can't (still haven't found out where it says this in the rule book).
Curious why this would be a problem for anyone? Have attached a poll and would also love to hear your thoughts!
There was a dual meet between Lake Washington Masters (a PNA workout group) and their affiliated USA Swimming club, WAVE Aquatics, last year. I see the results in the USMS database for the masters swimmers, so I'm assuming it was sanctioned.
In any event, I think dual meets are a great idea. Is there some requirement in USMS that all meets must be open to all USMS members? This would be the only reason I can think of that would forbid dual meets.
