I was on two relays at USMS SCY Nationals that broke national records. I just received an email from Walt Reid asking me to send him a copy of my birth certificate and/or my passport to verify my age; which I understand having to verify the age. Before I send copies of my personal information I wanted to confirm that this is legit. I emailed him asking a couple questions but have not heard back. :confused:
Let me know...
Thanks!
No not all swimmers, just those that have a chance to break records.
our nationals is more like your states in terms of number of swimmers. so those that swim and really train for racing know their chances and come prepared.
but I don't think your passport is needed for national records since our age is verified through your license to compete. but some form of valid id is required, otherwise how do you know the person swimming is the person entered to swim?
But NR, ER and WR I am 99% positive that those swimmers had to leave proof of age at the meet.
image me signing up to race nationals, only handful of members here know what i look like, so i could send my brother or a friend to swim, then wait 40-50 days and then mail in my proof of age and you'd never know if the mailed in proof was for the person who swam or the person who raced ;)
