Well ever since I aged up from 12 to 13 (which was a while ago), I have always wondered why there is no 100 IM for kids who are 13 and over, at least for short course (Yards) season (you can't really do a 100 IM in a LCM pool >.>). While there are some meets where you can do it, it isn't like a state event or anything. It seems like USA swimming is the only team that doesn't really allow it in such a way. I have looked at info on other countries and their swim teams and they seem to do it, as a state (province for other countries....) and above event even.
You would think that is true and this would seem to confirm it:
YouTube- All Star Individual Medley

But, look what happens when they get older:
YouTube- Aaron Peirsol, Ian Crocker, Rogers, Chapman - 100 IM Encore
OMG!!! The comparison made me split my sides laughing!
Thanks for this post! :)
