When is it OK to disallow swims

This thread is in response to Jim Thorton's thread about his AA time being disallowed.I think that if a swimmer swims in a USMS sanctioned meet and that the time gets to the "official" Top Ten list that it should count.Otherwise one could go back and check the length of ,say the Amarillo pool from the first Masters Nationals and if it was 1 cm short disallow the swims.There must be a statute of limitations and I think it should be when the official TT times are posted.

  • Bumping this for a FINA rankings question. Last year I swam Canadian Nationals and knew my times most likely would not count for USMS Top Ten due to the pool measurement requirements, but I did NOT know I'd also get omitted from the world rankings, yet that seems to be the case. My 1500 time of 17:42.67 should have ranked me 7th, but it doesn't show up. What gives? Is Walt Reid the person to contact about FINA Top Ten?
