I propose a rule change for the championship committee. If someone misses their heat at USMS Nationals due to general stupidity and day dreaming, they should be allowed to swim in an open lane in that same event.

Hi John,
You may submit this idea and any other ideas about championship pool competition directly to the USMS Championship Committee Chair Mark Moore at: championship@usms.org
The committee is very active and reviews new ideas all the time. Over the years it has adopted national qualifying times, online entries, new team scoring, and it has contributed tremendously to the ongoing evolution of the national championship pre-meet materials in the magazine.
You may also talk to your local delegates from Texas about ideas for administrative changes. It is their job to represent your ideas to their committees and ratify changes at the annual convention. South Central Zone Director Carolyn Boak is a longtime member of the Championship Committee. If they host a meet at the Woodlands, I bet she'd be there. You may also reach her by e-mail at: SouthCentralDirector@usms.org
At the very least, you will find out why the rule is the way it is. But if the committee likes the proposal, it could adopt a change. Hint: persistence pays off.
