Open the Masters Records?

Interesting article argues Masters records should recognize all sanctioned swims by age-eligible swimmers (e.g., Torres, Lezak, Foster, etc.) www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/.../21313.asp

  • I don't care whether a world class swimmer is registered as a Masters or not, but am curious about the top times ever posted in each age group irregardless of what type of meet the swimmer competed in. I even get a kick out of hearing about great workout performances. I don't understand this. Who is running swim meets other than USMS for people over (for the most part) early 30s? I guess we could all compete in USA Swimming meets if USMS didn't exist. USMS is an organization. Either join or go away but your records don't count if you don't join and it's not real hard to join.
