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?
Thanks Michael for the thorough explanation. When I was on the FINA site I must have been reading the rules reguarding the other aquatic disciplines. Unfortunately I know where that is on there site but the FINA site is down for construction.
From what you are providing and what Paul Smith said of his Austrialian experiences, its different for every country about the eligibility, registration, and invitation to compete. I always thought that FINA had a rule for the member federations to extend privileges to compete to any FINA member in good standing. Again, I might be confused with the other rules for the other aquatic disciplines.
Its kinda of strange about the lack of consistency. Especially making someone register to swim even if they are a registered swimmer in good standing from another FINA member federation. And then excluding foreigners from competitions altogether.
I wonder if there is any chance they will ever adopt the rules of the other aquatic disciplines. This sounds very exclusive.
