Well, I checked out the times in my age group and I have set a goal for myself. I'm keeping it under my hat for now...and I'm not that close, but I think it's do-able. Whether I make it or not, I've got a very identifiable target to shoot for.
Let the training begin!
As things stand now I've got the #1 time in the 800 free in 35-39 and I'm 26 seconds faster than the second place swimmer. I swam three events long course this summer and (so far) made TT in all three. Pretty cool! :banana:
Too bad I age up next year...
Once again proving unable to make the list on my own, I have relied on 3 other excellent swimmers to carry me.
Congrats to the smoking fast girls of THT/ABM.

Paul,
Maybe you need to come out of your 200 fly hiatus!!!! :)
Sorry Fort, we have you, who deserves a top ten time by swimming fast not on some lists, and then we have no-talent ***hat's, swimming slow and gaming the system to make the top 10 in the Men's 30-34 1500M. Sad.
Sorry, not buying that. You swam it, they didn't. Your time kicks the ever living crap out of me right now.
I was under the impression that it would be PV responsibilities since the meet was in the PV LMSC, not IL LMSC. Just checked the procedures again, maybe it is the IL LMSC responsibility.
Jeff told me it would be the responsibility of the IL TT chair since I was registered with ABM when the swims occurred. I've sent him an email, as has my ABM coach.
Well, you are both correct in a way. The LMSC Handbook states:
"Each LMSC is responsible for the meets held in its area, including Zone meets. Meet directors send meet results to the LMSC Top Ten Recorder. The meet director also submits applications for USMS/World records to the USMS Records Administrator.
Swimmers are responsible for submitting their times from FINA meets outside the U.S., and from USA swim meets to their LMSC Top Ten Recorder along with documentation if necessary."
So for USMS meets, it is the location of the meet not the membership of the swimmer that counts. But for USA-S and foreign meets, it is the responsibility of the swimmer to notify the Top Ten recorder in his/her LMSC of the times and provide verification, and the TTR then submits the times.
So I guess maybe Fort will be boycotting another LMSC...? :) (There is still time for corrections, that's why this is a *preliminary* TT list. Hopefully things will get straightened out.)
Take-home lesson: JR is always right. And if you switch membership away from his LMSC, expect a downgrade in services... :)

That's exactly the procedure I followed. Don't you think swimmers have a right to expect times to count when they research and follow all the rules?
Very nice Q!

Nice job!

Remember, alot of people in our age group took the summer off and you didn't, so you earned that TT ranking. :applaud:. Also, you are now a nationally ranked swimmer. Bravo.
