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

I'm with Chris Stevenson. FINA administers the world records for both "regular" and masters swimming, so why should there be a distinction? The Lezaks and Warneckes out there are already swimming under the auspices of FINA so why should it matter that they aren't swimming as masters swimmers? For USMS records, on the other hand, you obviously should need to be a USMS member.
