For all of you who know Leslie the Fortress Livingston, this should help you know her better.
For all of you who don't know Leslie the Fortress Livingston, prepare for the thrill ride get-to-know-Leslie event of the year.
A little background: Leslie is the 4th woman in history in the 45-49 year age group to beat 30 seconds in the 50 SCM butterfly.
She did this at age 47, and it is possible that she is actually the FIRST woman in history this old to break 30 at the age (assuming the previous 3 were 45 or 46.)

This small film will help you understand all that goes into becoming an extraordinary human being/swimmer. Oh, and there's a little about Leslie in this, too.
Just joking. It's all about Leslie. With some guest appearances by Paul Wolf, Julie "Mulie" Oplinger, Jeff "the Barbarian" Roddin, and Jim Thornton as "the narrator."
Please enjoy before Leslie forces Jim Matysek to take this down.

Are you talking about a split from a longer race or a time trial? Remember what Ourswimmer and Chris Stevenson said about how results are submitted as trials to reflect a swim breaking a record from a split and not from the actual event.
The time trials I am talking about are for swimmers at the end of the meet swimming events in a time trial format. I do not believe that was done at either Long Beach or the New England Championships and if it was done than none of the times should count because it was not in the original sanction grant from the LMSC. When the meet flyer gets posted with the Sanction Number and the schedule of events are swam according to the schedule for the two day meet, those times would be the only ones acceptable as part of the Sanction competition.
If there was a time trials section that was sanctioned in the original sanction packet that the meet host signs with the LMSC then that is permissible but only for short course yards meets and that is probably because of the FINA rule where they forbid time trials in master meets under there jurisdiction. For short course yards, they don't care about it and the NGB, which in this case is USMS can accept time trial swims just like USA Swimming does, ONLY if certain stipulations are meet in the USMS Rules, namely it must be part of the original sanction.
