I started a similar poll before,but time has changed things and I thought since USMS is going to have to do something definitive so they should have some input from the forumites
We are not training for the Olympics. FINA should not be writing the rules for Masters. And just as USMS has not adopted the FINA rule on age (i.e. your age is as of Dec 31st) we should not adopt this rule either.
then who should be writing the rules for masters??? and i mean that seriously...
(and actually, USMS has adopted the fina rules for age, at least in the courses that we share with the rest of the world...)
i'm honestly kind of shocked that LEN took the "dubai charter doesn't apply to masters" comment to heart, seeing as how it came from a press secretary, and not someone with actual power with in fina... i know that's all we've heard from fina regarding masters and suits, but seriously, a press secretary?!?
