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

Gosh, this Super Team stuff sure smacks of "Stacking" to me...and to Ralph and Mr. Moose as well....
Hey, just my two cents worth: if you swim with them, belong to the same team with them, then you should compete with them. Of coarse exceptions exist such as the poor swimmers who do not have enough people to compete on a relay or cannot afford to go to Nationals, but other then that.....I believe you should compete with your fellow team mates and the TEAM you belong to.
A few years ago in Texas I witnessed quite a few swimmers change teams for Zone Championships....and compete on Super Teams....and in some instances they left the Team they belonged to for over 20 years....JUST FOR THOSE MEETS. Gosh, if that is not "Stacking" then someone please shine the flashlight in Ralph, Mr. Moose and my ears.
