Swim info has this article:

Which discusses a new organization for competitive swimming called Adult Swimming Association. Apparantly the initiator is unhappy with the various things that USMS does that are not directly related to competitive swimming, such as the promotion of fitness. Also, he is unhappy with the structure of the national meets. He proposes several variations of the age group structure.
Any thoughts or insights?

Well, yeah, I suppose the competition would be more even in one year age groups. Of course, for some meets, it would mean eveyone comes in first. And it would be a nightmare to score all those "groups." But if you see the web page, it seems obsessed with setting and recognizing "world" records -- I suppose narrowing the criteria is one way to get a record.
