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.

Maybe if the meet organizers could give a coupon for a free beer ( or ice cream if you prefer) to all swimmers who show up for all their events the problem would be solved
