Like, the FINA age rule is dumb and unfair. Why do they have it? To compete in an age group, swimmers should actually BE that age. USMS got it right for SCY and FINA didn't. It might be fair for swimmers to compete in a meet in a certain age group if they are that age by the end of the meet.
Should USMS align rules with FINA about age & relays?
FINA relays add up ages, 72 - 99, 100 - 119, 120 - 159, 160 - 199, 200 - 239 ...
USMS relays base it off the age of the youngest swimmer on the relay
18+, 25+, 35+, 45+, 55+ ...
We all calculate our age based upon the month, day and year of birth.
In this country, but are you sure people do worldwide? As Skip mentioned some countries don't even bother notating the actual date of birth on their birth certificates.
