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

  • Hi Paul: I did attend the International Committee meeting and did bring up some of the issues you and Mr. Goodsmith had. Past President Jim Miller MD said at this time to bring something like this up to FINA you would be "hitting a brick wall". Right now there is a meeting of the FINA Congress to be held at Stanford on December 3, 2005. The only rules regarding eligibility for FINA to consider would be adding the 18-24 age group. Anthony Thompson did a nice presentation of a comparison between FINA and USMS rules that he passed out to delegates attending. Most of these rules were championship swimming rules and he will discuss with the Rules Committee whether there are any FINA rule change proposals they wish to submit for consideration. Thats about it as far as any changes go. With the 2006 World meet coming up and the racketeering conroversey about the 2005 LATyCar Championships, USMS has bigger fish to fry and probably won't be thinking about anything else. If you want to know about the any of this read the International Meeting minutes and the latest convention thread.
