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

Just love your remarks about this issue! Here, In Europe the main question is if we allow swimmers to have double license! We are far away from accepting any time as a “master time “ according to age.
Any register Master swimmer in most Europeans countries that dedicates more than 1hour working out is consider either “professional” or taking doping!
Getting away from the influences spread in Europe; yes, any time should be eligible for master word record according to age group. I will be crucified here for my remarkJ
Medals, records are just some of the issues at a Master event: being part of a specific group, competing according to personal goals, meeting people, travelling, etc, are others issues motivating swimmers to participate at a Master event.
