People have "recruited" in all levels of swimming since day 1 (as I brought up the "old days" of mission viejo grabbing top NCAA swimmers to come on board for nationals).
I have no problem with people organizing/recruiting especially if it helps bring people (back) into the sport. Keep in mind, its not always about scoring or records.....evil-goodsmith reunited his 11-12 year relay teamates for short course nationals and they had a blast.....firs time some of them had swum since high school.
And trust me, John could have not done this and been a part of some record setting relays!
