Procedure for getting USA-S Times to count for USMS Top 10
Former Member
How does one go about getting USA-S times to be submitted and to count for USMS Top 10? I have concerns about how difficult this process will be due to pool measurement and other requirements, etc.
I want to swim the 1500 LCM this summer and there is not one masters meet in my area that offers that event this summer. The closest meets are 8+ hours drive away in FL in July and I'd much rather swim that distance in a climate controlled environment. :frustrated: USA-S meets in my area offer this event. I'm already registered with USA-S.
Thanks for any ideas. I will plan on contacting one USAS/USMS official that I know personally. But was curious if anyone knew the exact (or even vague outline) process.

Awesome answers. Thank you very much!!
Ed Saltzman was the individual that I was planning on contacting as I know him. So I'll start with him. Thanks so much Glider. So sorry that your Top 10 did not get to count! :shakeshead: It hurts so bad does it not? I know it will motivate you to earn some more!
Ande, thanks so much. I printed out your email letter as a template for me.
Chris, great link. Thank you. I'm hoping since it will be long course season that the pool measurements will be on file and no bulkheads will be involved. But I will be sure to check as this issue got me before! Glad I'm not my area Top 10 recorder. I think you'd suddenly see me at #1 place across the board!! :joker:
Kirk and Winnie, how nice. I didn't think anyone would care if I went to Nats or not. I'm still thinking about it. Really, my biggest concern is having to swim fast on such a big time zone change. Oh, and it's not an indoor climate controlled pool. But I could live with that I think. It would be nice to have a meet in August. I could possibly do SR State in GA in July and then Nationals.
Gracias!!! I feel a bit better about all this.
