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?

Now I know you can't have dual registrations from two different countries. I know people in the past that have done this, for example having a USMS membership and having Canadian membership and they have been notified by the governing bodies to choose only one. Foreign swimmers are welcome at our USMS National Meets but cannot set USMS records or be eligible for USMS Top Ten.
Having reviewed the results from the recent USMS Nationals there certainly appears to be a case of a swimmer having dual registration (Masters Swimming Canada/USMS) participating in record setting relays.
