I was looking through entry forms for local USA Swimming meets and noticed this quote:
Notice: As per Middle Atlantic regulations, failure to enter a
swimmer's best time could result in suspension from competition for a
minimum of 3 months, but not more than one year. Further violation
by a coach, parent, or swimmer could result in that person being
forbidden to participate in or attend USA Swimming functions.
I don't know if this goes on if other LSCs. Some swimmers would have a problem if USMS got strict with the sandbaggers(or the new termed coined by Mr. Jimby Thornton this weekend, "Hiltabiddles").

What if your best time is faster than you are capable of swimming right now?
