I thought that too until about 2 years ago when Rob Copeland informed me that it could be done and his example was the USA and Canada and it is post #43 in the thread I linked here. This is exactly the same discussion we had 2 years ago that hornHead started.

FINA does not have a provision against this like they do in Swimming. In Masters you can have as many registrations as you want in as many countries as you want. Its sounds strange, but until this provision is changed, you will see this a lot.
That is not my understanding, unless something has recently changed. You cannot have Masters membership in more than country at a time. The way I understood it is that you must be a member of your federation where you live, but if your country doesn't have a FINA member federation, then you can join another country's federation.
Back to the Top Ten, though. So far I have three swims in the top ten for long course. That's pretty exciting for me since I've never had more than one top ten swim per course per season before!
You could have had more. Did you look at the times for the 200 free? My time last year would have made it. I wish I hadn't "mailed" that one in at the zone meet. :cry:

Uhhh, no one offered the 800? There was the 800/1500 meet in July... And you didn't sign up for it at zones (remember, Dana and Rich swam it?).
Okay, brain fart there. I can't do the July meet. No one to count.... but I skipped the 800 at your pool due to my wrist. Now I wish I had done it.

I was the same way with the 800 free and 200 br. If I had swam them once I would have had 3 this year instead of just 1. But my wrist was so bad that I didn't do *** much and no one offered 800 free that I can remember. Next year!!!

Sometimes, if you just show up and swim, you get top ten - as evidenced by my showing this year...
and how ironic is it, that the guy who placed ahead of me in the 800 free swims for a team with the same abbreviation as my gf's nickname... moo!
