Both Sides of the Lane Line

We're considering a BSLL on how people feel about USMS members swimming in USA-S meets, with the kids. We have plenty of members who do and I have someone who can write the "pro" side. I'm looking for someone who disagrees with this practice and would be willing to share why in 300 words. USMS has no official stance, just seeking to spark thoughtful discussion on this topic. Please PM me if you have interest. Thanks, Laura

  • I think it's strange that an adult like me (at 35 years old) does not have to have a background safety check to be a registered swimmer competing or practicing with the minor children. I guess USA-S doesn't feel this is an issue?? We're not in an authority position like the coaches are, so to me it's a totally different scenario.
