Super teams

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

  • OK, this is becoming clearer to me. It hadn't dawned on me that people are living in different places and competing on teams that are far away... I do agree that people should have a choice of which team to swim for, etc., but then they should absolutely have different distinctions. I was just thinking that we have people on our team who live in Utah, but they are not full members because they don't attend our workouts. (They moved and had been on our team) However, they can still swim relays with us. Should there be a distinction between entire teams (or workout groups or whatever these small bands of swimmers are called) joining a SUPERTEAM, in the case of Illinois for example, and the individual belonging to a team because of something like moving? I see a distinction there that would need to be addressed... I think three things need to occur: 1. Some new rules need to be made (that help the club team). 2. Rules need to be made and clarified. Perhaps even new definitions? 3. A plan for implementation of the new rules.
