Recruiting

Rumor has it that some teams were recruiting outside there LMSC for swimmers at nationals. What do you think of this.

  • I mixed up Michael with Wayne McCauley. Julie pointed out my error and I made the proper response apology. About the doing the records at the meet, I said it was a nice jesture to help another team with the records at Nationals. I meant that statement as a positive statement. Not all LMSC's and Clubs have a policy that the registrars do the meet records at Nationals. So I interpret my statement as positive and not negative. When my LMSC and Club ran the Long Course National meet, I did the records and I was not our Registrar. I am very well aware of who Mark Moore is and I am very well aware of who Wayne McCauley is and they are very well aware of who I am. I was trying to make an example to Mr. Goodsmith about the differences in recruiting a World team all over the country to a team recruiting in the general area of the LMSC. In that last paragraph of my post I referenced the wrong people. I know Michael Heather understands and I appreciate his comments. About Julie doing the records I never said anything about her being unattached as derogatory in doing the meet records. Actually when she pointed out my error I felt embarrassed and tried to throw a compliment. I have known both Michael and Julie for almost 18 years and they both know me so there was no malice regarding this. I never said anything about the San Diego masters or the Canadian swimmer and PNA swimmer that was on there World Record relay, that was horn Head and Kirk Nelson making those references. The whole purpose of the past practices was to show Mr. Goodsmith what went on 1988 and how the swimmers in USMS might not want to repeat the practice. The postive out of that is that the Smith brothers will work with Mark Gill to change system the way it is now to having FINA member countries compete in the meet with the swimmers reresenting there delegations not there clubs. I still plan on addressing Swimmer Bill about his thoughts about what went on in 1988.
