I just saw an article about the new FINA swim rules and I'm confused about the one relating to swimming unattached in a SCM or LCM meet. The new rule states that if a swimmer does enter a meet as unattached not only will his or her time not count for FINA top ten or a record, but that everyone in the meet will also have their times be unrecognized. Sounds a bit harsh.
Also, backstrokers can no longer finish underwater. How will that be judged? What if your entire body is submerged on the final lunge except for the toes of one foot completing a final kick?
Clarification from our rule gurus please.

if that is true... I am glad have decided not to compete so soon! Have been unattached all my life and been at the Top10 until 2012 either USMS member or Europe’s unattached swimmer. Rubbish!:blah:
My turn to group45-49 will be smooth:cheerleader:, no competitions:D
