This hasn't affected me as of yet, so I really haven't been paying attention up until now. :) I'm thinking of entering a SCM meet in October. My birthday is in December, and I age up this year. I have already swum two LCM meets in my new age group. I was under the impression that SCM meets had the same age-up rule as LCM meets; i.e., you swim the age you will be as of December 31. However, the SCM meet entry asks the age you will be as of the first day of the meet. Which is correct? I want to make sure I'm swimming in the correct age group (not that it's any easier in the older one!).
Thanks!

For someone like me who was born in late Sept, I have to remember that USMS keeps me at my age until June 1st. Then I have to remember to "age myself up" after that. It would just be easier to be 1 age all year long. People who aren't swimmers ask me my age now and I have to stop and think "USMS age or real age?" And this year, the new age is a BIG ONE!:cane:
30?
