Why are there more men than woman in masters swimming? Everyone says that women's events always end before the men's events (and thus we have to keep that odd/even rule for pools at nationals). Is this still true? The last meet I attended there were 62 heats of women and 65 of men.
Now, I'm not going on USMS roster data posted online (which appear to be very out of date and inaccurate) but on who shows up regularly at practice each day. (I swim 6x a week and sometimes do doubles.)
Swim4Life:
You just insulted our Vice President of Local Services (Julie Heather) and our National Registrar (Esther Lyman) with the comments that you made above about the 2005 USMS Registation data that was provided for discussion.
Would you like to explain to us why there are 264 more females than males in the 30-34 age group which accounts for a 13% increase? Could explain why there are 730 more females than males in the 25-29 age group which accounts for more that 1/3 of the size of males? And finally could you explain why there is 815 more females than males which is more than double for this age group? Is this data and anomaly for the year 2005. Do you expect to see a major shift in 2006? I would like you to explain why this data that was provided is inaccurate and what standard of measurement would you provide to dispute these findings.
