Several forum posters wondered whether USMS's decision to allow the tech suits to be legal for SCY through May might tempt some world class swimmers to swim in a masters meet. Well, I was just looking over the results from a recent masters meet at Auburn Where Freddy Bousquet cranked an 18.67 in the 25+ 50 free. That may last a while. Mark Gangloff, swimming in the 30+ age group went a 52.47 100 *** and a 48.27 100 IM. Man, I'd have loved to see those swims. I can't wait to see if any stars show up in Atlanta.

Too bad they only want records ! Maybe they can swim all year long like those of us who have been doing it for 20 years +
I SERIOUSLY doubt these Olympians give 2 sh!ts about a USMS records, honestly. They DO swim year round....they are professional swimmers. My guess is that they swam "for fun" and as part of their training so see what they can do, where they are at, etc....but mostly just for fun. Like I said, I don't think they will be putting "USMS record holder" on their resume.
