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
I am a member of a current WR relay team where all 4 members swim together on the same team and have for more then 10 years.
The consensus on the thread on whether swimming is a team sport seems to be that it is, sorta, but it isn’t exactly. That may explain why we’re pretty much OK with a world record falling in the Olympics to a relay team drawn from different workout groups from all across a country. In contrast, compared with many world-record-setting “teams,” this proposed team would be drawn much more narrowly: all of the members would have actually been in Long Beach in December for the 2008 Southern Pacific Master’s Association SCM Championship Meet, a local meet. Having lived in Long Beach for a year or so many years ago, I can say with a lot of confidence that, if you're in Long Beach in December, you probably really do belong. So, what's the beef, and what does everyone have against the local habit of being inclusive?
