the unofficial USMS Masters 25 yard race Championships

ande
Master has postal 3000's and 5,000's We should have a POSTAL USMS Masters 25 Race Championships with rankings in 1) 25 fly 2) 25 back 3) 25 *** 4) 25 free 5) 25 SDK 6) fastest add up times Who's game? would you do this? It would be more fun to have this at the Swim Center the day after Nationals
  • Just keep plying him with beer until I can beat him then :D :rofl: So we have to get him looking like one of the MacKenzie brothers??? Paul
  • There was a proposal to include 25 Yard and 25 Meter events for USMS Records and USMS Top Ten but it was restricted to the age groups 75 and above. This was presented at the 2006 Convention. It was easily defeated. I have provided a link to a past discussion on this subject. forums.usms.org/showthread.php why not 25's they would be fun and exciting maybe it will resurface ande I wasn't there, but I believe I heard that part of the reason it was defeated was that it wan't right to exclude younger age groups from doing 25s. People from all over the age spectrum here have demonstrated the desire to do them - why permit only the 75+ folks? I'd get Leslie to launch a class-action suit for age discrimination. Any meet can do these as unofficial events - why not have more people add this to the end of their meet program between now and Austin, and we can indeed to a virtual championship...
  • except in the 25 SDK the 25 SDK may be completely underwater swimmers may take one stroke with one arm to set up their touch slower swimmers may take a narrow half breastroke scull to get a breath it would be fun ande Just FYI: The Texas Swim Center has the capability to install touchpads at the turn wall for accurate times. The recent meet there had 25 splits for every race 200 and under. As I mentioned in another thread, I'm outta Austin early Monday, but I support this idea, Ande. Of course, the rules have to be followed, which means no one gets more than one dolphin kick on breaststroke and must surface at 15 meters.
  • If I were going to Austin, I'd join the fun--I like an event wherein I have no chance whatsoever to be lapped. :fish2:
  • Aw Jeff, come on! I was happily reading through this thread thinking that I might endeavor with a 25 or two (knowing full well I can't turn over to save my life!). My evil plan: mostly underwater, fly kick, THAT I can do fast :) Rats, guess I'm out.:cry:
