A couple of thoughts. First, the USMS 1 mile OW championship is in late May. So, does that mean anything goes for that swim?
I am not sure. I would hope the USMS Long Distance Committee will make a statement about it: "The Long Distance Committee shall oversee the rules and administration of open water and long distance events."
Second, sunburn and jellyfish is the most ludicrous reasoning I've ever heard.
Absolutely agree with that.
