In Pacific, we only count times swum in Pacific sanctioned meets for our Top Tens and Records.
I was wondering if your LMSC counts times swum at Nationals, or in other LMSCs, in your LMSC tabulations?
This has always been frustrating for me, especially during LC season, as we usually only have one or two meets. Last year and this year we had one meet, our LC championships! I would love to be able to have Nationals times count, and/or be able to enter meets in other LMSCs and have the times count in Pacific tabulations.
If you respond, could you tell me what LMSC you're in? I'm going to present "my case" at our May meeting.
Thanks : ]
I have never seen or heard of a Pacific Masters "Top Ten" list. Does someone really compile them each year? If so, they aren't distributing them very widely!
For many events, like distance freestyle and 200s stroke, even if you allowed swims by Pacific-registered swimmers in meets outside Pacific, it would just be a list of who swam the event that year, because you wouldn't even have ten different Pacific-registered people in one age group who had done the event. I suppose the order might change some if a person swam better at Nationals than at a local mid-season meet, but it still would seem like a lot of trouble to keep a very small list.
