The Big Shoulders swim, held in Chicago Sept 6th. Offered the new look in USMS sanctioned swims, political partianship. For a link to the discussion go here http:/.../showthread.php This is the same organization that is running next years Nationals. USMS, you need to address this.

"Re: La Jolla Rough Water Swim
for those of you who weren't there this year, come next year. The weather and water were perfect and the great team who put on LJRWS ran it supremely on time. What a wonderful event. My only complaint is that I lost the great draft pack on my way back from the pier, but I'm proud to have my first Gatorman finisher t-shirt. Note also, that, unlike some 'big' event in the midwest, there was a welcome absence of politicians on our t-shirts ... nothing but gators."
I've always wanted to do this swim. Maybe it will make it on my calendar instead of Chicago next year.:duel:
