Hey everyone, once again I have a question.
In masters swimming is your age, just the age you are during a meet? I am 20 at the moment, but will be 21 on March 4. Not that it really makes much of a difference (as I will be in the same age group), but I am attending a meet on March 3-4th.
Either 6, 9, 69 or 96. The formation made by the trip is "d". Thus, it could be viewed as a backward 6, an upside down 9 or the combination of both. Seeing how the captain made it back to port and had precise mileage increments I'd guess it's not the 6, 9 or 96.
The LCM rule was in effect in my first swim meet, and it turned out to help me. I would have been in the 50-54 age group but was "promoted" to 55-59, and since I was the only woman in that age group, won first place in my event. I would have had competition in the 50-54 group. Age is a beautiful thing! :D
But I never captained a ship at any age. ;)
Right. The meet entry form will typically give you the cutoff date for your age. If you want to know all the nitty-gritty of it, try looking it up in the USMS rulebook.

Imagine your the captain of a sailboat, the boat leaves harbour and sails south for 2 miles, west for 1 mile, north for 1 mile, east for 1 mile and north for 1 mile, thus returning to port. How old is the captain?
Too old to be sailing the boat?
