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?
Maybe there's a concern about leaving a gender out...Oregon has how many now?
I do know several people who identify as NB, so yes.
The meet has been extended to 8/31 and I was already going to the pool today, so I swam the 50 BR for the meet since I was least happy with my prior 50 swim. 34 sec without a block start, which I was happy with.(Second time in a pool since March)
Some of these results seem more than surprising. The number one time over all in the 50 BR is a woman at 23. Her previous best USMS time was 32.
Her time is listed as from an Apple Watch. How accurate are those type of watch for a 50 yd time?

I question the woman entered with :21/:51 backstroke times as well!

As I said previously, at least a dozen inaccuracies. 50 ***, 50 back, 100 back, 50 fly as mentioned, open water 1 mile with multiple 19-21 min times that likely didn't happen, OW 2 mile-37 minutes, OW 5k-under an hour. Some other suspect times but not obvious enough to call out. I did a 1:56 "10k" race a few weeks ago but at least I wasn't dim enough to enter it as a legit time...and USMS, gave an extra week to accumulate more garbage times...yay! Hopefully, virtual swimming is not the future of USMS as it's increasing my bp and making my adrenals swell up.

It's safe to say that I will check whatever events for which you submit times, and then submit a time that is either .01, or in the likely event they only record times to the second, 1.0 faster than you.
I am sorry you can't beat me.

I know. Why do you mock my pain?
Just so you know, I'm feeling a 1:54 200 fly Aug 31st very close to the midnight deadline...:)
You all are soooo negative. Why not look at the bright side? Now no one has to take PEDs to post good times. Virtual swimming is healthier!
You have a good point.
Also, if had to guess, most of the cheating is likely out of ignorance and not intentional (which I still find a bit depressing).
To see results it seems I have to go event by event and filter each by age and gender. Is there any place results are posted in a user friendly format?
