Hey, don't blame USA Swimming, blame the meet hosts. The rules are very specific on pool length tolerance. Any negative tolerance is unacceptable. Sorry, but in my opinion you can't just decide to let the rules slide. Again, all the blame is with TAMU in this one. I do agree this is terrible for the swimmers, but please place the blame where it belongs.
You are correct that TAMU is to blame for pool length. But USAS didn't even bother measuring, it was SUPPOSEDLY done by a USMS swimmer to follow USMS rules and USAS enforces their rule after the fact. For that reason, the kids suffer. To go 5 sessions without bothering to measure and then disallow all swims in those 5 sessions is draconian to say the least.
