I was just looking at some websites (I wanted to see where and if they had world rankings and if I would be ranked!!) Anyway, I came across results from the recent Australian Masters Nats...
Was that meet LCM?? or SCM?? Does anybody know?? The reason I ask is because I saw that Daniel Kowaski (I am assuming the former swimmer??) went 1.53 for the 200, 3.58 for the 400 and 8.18 for the 800!!! does anyone know if that is correct? Doesnt give me much hope, that is ridiculously fast!!
good on him if it is him as you dont see many of the recent swimmers doing Masters...
So... the debate about holding SCM Nationals - where are we with that anyway?
I have wondered since my return to masters swimming:
Since the USA is the only country in the world swimming 25 yard meets, why do we hold Short Course Nationals?
It seems logical that the National Championships would be held in SCM - 25 meters and then again in LC - 50 meters.
It would be great to be able to compare times swum in actual national championships for short course meters.
Instead we rely on SCM regional and 1-day meets to post fast SCM times.
There really is not much difference in training for SCM meets in a 25 yard pool, so we can't use that excuse. Lets' consider other opportunities to race the world in recognized measurement.
Just asking...
