Swim info has this article:
swiminfo.com/.../3387.asp
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?

Or who flat out don't want to be bothered as they are not interested in a meaningless "world record".
Question: What gives ASA the right to just arbitrarily decide to throw out perfectly good world records?
Just wondering.
