I am interested if anyone could shed some light on citizenship/resident requirements in relation to National/USMS relay records. Is it possible for a record setting relay with one or more members of that relay, not being a US citizen(s) or even a resident(s), to be recognized as such?

The way I see it. If I can put up with someone beating me who went to a Division III school like UCSB, I can probably put up with foreigners competing at USMS nationals.....:-)
National records........ are a different matter. A US Masters national record should be eligible for US citizens only. Make another category like "US Open" if you want foreigners to be recognized in the US for national best times.
Then again..... it's just masters swimming. The beer is more important in the end.
