The FINA rules say no but not considering the rulebook, should Libby Lenton's 52.99 go in the record books. There has been alot of debate on this in the other thread. What do you think?
Presuming that the organizations you list are not affiliated with FINA why doesn't GR 4 apply?I suggest you contact Cornel Marculescu – FINA Executive Director and Rich Foster – President of United States Aquatic Sports (USAS) if you are interested in an answer to this question. And please keep us posted as to what they say.
One other note: YMCA is an affiliate member of USA-Swimming, which is a member of USAS, which is a member of FINA. I don’t know the affiliate status of the other organizations I listed.
And my apologies for this digression to those discussing Libby Lenton’s phenomenal swim.
