Interesting article argues Masters records should recognize all sanctioned swims by age-eligible swimmers (e.g., Torres, Lezak, Foster, etc.)

The fuss of including Olympians in the Masters rankings might be more of a non-issue after a certain age.
It makes total sense to record the fastest time for a given age group...namely the younger ones. Obviously they're already ranked with FINA.
I agree with Jeff...that a membership with usms should be required.
But would having Olympians at meets discourage the average swimmer from attending? ...or do just the opposite?
It would be pretty exciting in my opinion.
