What seed times do you use when registering for Master's meets? A) your best time in a master's meet B) Your most recent time C) What you think you will swim for this particular meet D) other I have been going with 'C', but am curious what other folks do...

  • Hmm, is this a Pot-Kettle situation because I seem to recall quite a few deck side conversations where you have expressed annoyance over folks who do this. Nope, we haven't had a lot of those deck side convos. I think I may have commented on a certain swimmer in your age group who routinely seeds well off his times, not 10%. Or possibly joked about sandbaggers. But I am generally not annoyed or angered by this practice. Ultimately, you're competing against the times on the usms database. And what about the swimmers who do a portion of a race for time and loaf the rest? Are they to be condemned too?
