I could care less if it was a on day local masters meet, a C little splashers meet or the Olympics; if it were me or my kid, I'd be totally PO'd!!
hey, they could learn something from US masters!!
Way, way, way below the standard for USMS!!! Way to go USMS for these rules - the integrity of top tens and masters records is way beyond SWIMS.
I really feel for the kids and their parents. I never swam a meet with USS in which my times did not "count." How heartbreaking!! However, with masters I've had a totally different experience with swims and entire meets not "counting" due to pool measurement issues. Michelle, I'm guessing that you've had all your swims count for top 10, correct?
USMS has the rules in place; however, they are not always followed. I had 8 swims not count one year for Top 10s at a USMS sanctioned meet. Same went for a friend of mine at another meet (one of his times did not count.) Attended another meet which was to be a SCM championship and due to the pool falling short, no SCM meet. Was turned into SCY meet while we were at the meet. Consequently, I had no SCM meet times for that year.
So for me, it's either buy a laser or tape measure (as recommended by discussion board members) and harass officials (which they don't seem to like BTW), OR not worry about it and be happy being a lap swimmer who likes to compete at times. Not into lasers, so oh well!
