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!

Well - I just learned something new - I thought all masters aged up on 1 Jan!
I know that UK Masters follows FINA with a 1 Jan "birthday" and combined ages for relay swims. Perhaps urge USMS to fall in line with Europe? Then again the US still has those pesky 25yd pools:bolt:
