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 : ]
Hi Jim,
I know I am right about times not counting outside of Pac sanctioned meets, as I addressed this about 10 years ago. No one could really come up with a good reason why, outside our LMSC, times don't count. (In fact, in the late 90s I couldn't swim in either of our TWO LCM that year so I went to SPMA champs and swam 11 events. All of those times were Top Ten USMS and would have been TT Pacific, but Pacific didn't recognize the times as they were outside of Pacific!
You're only referring to Pacific Top Ten, correct?
Pacific records can be set by Pacific swimmers in any USMS sanctioned meet - not necessarily at a Pacific meet.
