These particular swimmers did have a large discrepancy between their seed time vs actual swim time.
I bring to light the following regarding these swimmers:
Swimmer A - committe member of our LMSC
Swimmer B - member of the Host Team
Swimmer C - member of one of the elite teams in our area
Swimmer D - member of Host Team for USMS Summer Nationals in 2013
I am expecting too much to expect the Host Team, Elite Team, and LMSC to set an example for others to follow. This behavior is flat out not acceptable. If the seed times were within a few minutes who cares, but as originally noted these seeds times exceed 10 minutes.
I'm slow anyway, but improving, I was seeded to Heat 3 with the slowest seed time, and came in last in my Heat. On the flip side, I was 6th in my age group.
I was also told that this would not be done in USAS and College swimming, because, unless a person has not swum an event at all, a prior swim time would be used.
My Grandmother would wack these swimmers with her cane and tell them to be good, honest sportspersons.
