I propose USMS adopt handicap measurements to more equitably compare performances in Masters Swimming.
1. Married ...... deduct one tenth per 50
2. Nagging spouse.... deduct two tenths per 50
3. Each child under the age of 10..... deduct one tenth per 50
4. Work more than 40 hours a week..... deduct one tenth per 50
5. House and car payment stress.... deduct on tenth per vehicle two tenths per house.
6. Travel more than 1 day a week.... one tenth per 50
Note: item 6 can help negate item 2.
In addition.... those of us with more manageable lifestyles need to adjust their times as well.
7. Training more than 4,000 a workout ...... add one tenth per 50
8. Training more than 4 days a week....... add one tenth per 50
9. Born independently wealthy..... add 3 tenths per 50

Reading all the time we get to take off for all these things....it reminds me of the VO2MAX Shampoo being so good that IF you put to much on.... you would finish your race before you started....That would be a serious plus here for then we would not have to read the same nonsense over and over and over and over...
Would too, would not....too...not...
Things that never change...tend to remain the same....
minus my name, but referring to what is perceived that I do ("...Things that never change...") and say ( "...VO2MAX...") in a derisive way.
