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 best time done by someone in the country is either done by an American or by a foreigner, but a foreigner can not technically hold an "American" record as he is not an American citizen.
We could always just reward a swimmer for outstanding results and not be so focused on the country of origin. Wait, we already do that. But, I guess some folks need more ribbons.
