  • The way the rule is written now, it makes it harder on the meet staff to keep the interest of the swimmers first. The way the rule is written, if you're a swimmer, your window of opportunity CLOSES at the end of the meet, period. If you don't put something in writing before you leave the deck, you have ZERO recourse. The only way to keep the interest of the swimmers first is to make sure swimmers are able to keep their options open, and submit paperwork for anything they might possibly want to count in the future. The way the rule is written, it causes meet staff extra work at the meet because it requires paperwork to take place then. It also causes meet staff extra work because we have to deal with unhappy swimmers afterward who want a time to count, but they have lost their opportunity. Let's remember... USA Swimming doesn't have these problems with split times. -Rick It makes sense to me that we have to ask for splits during the meet and not after - certainly not 30 days after. I don't see why this rule needs to be changed.
