Can you set an official world record in a USMS meet? Can you qualify for the olympic trials in a USMS meet?
  • I also swim USA-S and USMS meets (have athlete membership in both) and have gotten to swim relays with the girls. That has been really fun. Kathy Casey

    Thank you, Kathy, fot that info. Kathy, for the rest of you, is the best of the best, a priceless gift to USMS. Can you imagine the scrambling if a real, open World record was set at a Masters meet. My gawd we'd all suffer apoplexy in our earnest desire to have this salutary event recognized. Could it happen some day? And in what event?
  • Well, except for this new NCAA rule that is going to take effect that prohibits NCAA swimmers and high school swimmers from competing in the same heat of any event. Talk about a step in the wrong direction. -Rick That is ridiculous! What is the rationale behind that? That will create more heats too. What a headache for the workers to have to worry about that when they set up a meet.
  • That would be great!!! Would that mean age groupers and Masters could swim together? You could have whole families swimming meets together....how cool would that be?! Well, except for this new NCAA rule that is going to take effect that prohibits NCAA swimmers and high school swimmers from competing in the same heat of any event. Talk about a step in the wrong direction. -Rick
