Looking at the 4x50 Free and Medley World Records for 120-159 and 160-199. I just don't like seeing teams from Finland, Italy and Canada holding records in those age-groups - so who is coming to Long Beach and interested in swimming a relay ?
Time + Age requirements:
Free for the 120-159 avg = 23.58 (that's fast)
Free for the 160-199 avg = 24.0 + we need the right ages
*** / Back and Fly - records are 1:44 and 1:46 - also very fast, looking for *** around 30-31 (at least) - Back 26-27 and Fly 25+
By the way - these are not yard times - :)
If you are interested reply here or send me a PM + START SWIMMING UNATTACHED until we figure what team we can do this under.
We have 2 people right now - so we need at least 2 more
One more point on this subject. I would love see USMS try and work with FINA to change the rules regarding national teams for world championships. I think it would be far more interesting to see USA vs Australia, Italy, etc. than the current club vs. club format.
I would also like to know why we wouldn't consider US Open, National and World record designations...sorry but it seems strange to me that foreign nationals can hold our national records....I would also suggest that switching countries a KPN did when she competed for France shouldn't be allowed..but given the nature of how the Olympics ae run these days and citizenships passed around like playing cards I guess its a mute point.
