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?
I wasn't clear on my statement. It should have said "USMS swimmers to be citizens of the USA to set USMS records. Non citizens would not be eligible to set USMS records but would be eligible to set USMS Open Records.
Now I assume that US citizens would be eligible to set USMS Open record if they have the fastest time on USMS soil. Also, say if Paul Smith sets a World Record in Australia it would not count as a USMS Open Record because he did not do the swim on USMS soil. This is what USA Swimming does. Is this what Good and Evil Smith mean with Open records.
