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

Some European federations demand previous written authorization to swim abroad, after demand forms and written forms to official times done, if those procedures are not done the times will not be official in the federation where you are affiliated…. Some European Federations demand the local organization of an event to send the results formally through a specific program, some organization do not have that program …. Seams incredible but can keep on describing so many weird situations… One personal, a ER done in France from Spanish swimmer was not on TOP10 FINA ranking J and could go on, 16 years of really funny stories
But lets stop here , the issue are the suits; we are not “elite”, we should be able to wear what we have been wearing until now.
The majority of USA swimming athletes are not elite either. I don't really see this as an elite/non-elite issue.
