What are your thoughts about teams combining for out of LMSC meets (not nationals) and not competing as the same team within the LMSC.

    Thank you to who replied over the past few days about my question. I understand the pro and con's of LMSC super teams and the reasons teams have been formed. Rob is right that they are a team like all others. There are teams out there that are made up of members of that superteam year around and does not have chapters. They do workout or compete against each other no matter where they are. If the superteam was in Memphis and they had a meet in Memphis they would compete as the superteam name. The other teams would also compete as they are. The same thing would happen when they go out of state. There are teams that pull people off their home club team to compete on the superteam, but they do not have the superteam when they compete in the same area. Then a meet out of state comes up and they pull swimmers from their home team to compete on the superteam and they sent their meet forms with the home team (not superteam). They have swam a meet in the last 60 day that one results shows there home team, but everything gets change over for top ten for the superteam. Sounds confusing-it is! It is not that I do not like the battle with a superteam - I would like the swimmers to choose who they are going to swim for and build team spirt. Like Rob, I too like to know who I am swimming a relay with. Now your turn - I really like what I have read so far! Thank you for this worth while postings.
