With no Nationals this year, USMS said they will have virtual events. I'm not sure how this will work. VR headsets are expensive enough, how much is a VR tech suit? Do they have them at Swimoutlet?
The saga continues. My wife swam the 3 backstrokes. She is a USMS member. She opened a swim.com app. She linked swim.com with My USMS. Swim.com continues to say, basically,you must be a member of USMS to enter, join USMS to continue. Is her only choice to join USMS twice? I will say that I asked a support question of swim.com earlier and they answered promptly. I think swim.com could probably be a very useful app for an open water swimmer. I just don't see how it is an improvement for a pool swimmer over a pace clock, printed out workout, and the old Go the Distance. It really seems an unnecessary complication for this meet as all that was really need was a stopwatch and an entry form.
As a bigger issue, I know that competition pool swimmers are not most of the body of USMS, but we are the heart and generally the most involved group. I put up with FINA, even though the are incredible corrupt, because they are the only game in town, but I have always been,heretofore, proud of USMS. This covid situation is awful, having a few bright spots help make things more bearable. Having support of a like minded community helps. An active forum, like we had not that long ago, could be that.
Times to the second, by the way, not to the .01 sec. The placings are listed by time, not by gender and age, just by time.
Yes, it's kind of crazy entering 50's to a second without tenths at a minimum.
You can actually filter the event results by age group but not gender. There's a filter button just to the right of the so-called "leader's" name.

Thanks. Not separating genders is strange
"USMS starts and strokes rules apply, but we will be using the honor system. Swim fast. Swim fair. USMS reserves the right to remove any clearly incorrect results."
Probably won't happen as there is at least a dozen incorrect results in top ten of multiple events I can spot. I guess the lesson for all of us is not to take this too seriously.

m so envious of you having a LCM pool.
