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 don't want to get the moderators mad with another tangent, but there is an issue that is related: Sanction vs Recognition. Say a club is interested in hosting a meet but would rather apply for USMS *recognition* rather than *sanction* in order to boost meet attendance (because sanctioned meets are limited to USMS members but recognized meets are not). What arguments could/should I use, if any, to convince them that sanction is the better choice? (Maybe it isn't.) This may be too technical a discussion for BSLL but, since USA-S meets are officially "recognized" meets, it is kind of related.
Recognized meets makes life hell for the TT recorder. :bitching::bitching::bitching::bitching:
