  • This is frustrating, and is such a disservice to swimmers. Well, we'll have to agree to disagree on that score. I sort of feel that safeguarding accuracy of times is pretty important too. The rule proposal that I was looking for was to _ALLOW_ for this to be possible, not _REQUIRE_ that it be possible. Was there a reason you didn't bring this fact to my attention earlier? The rule proposals have been out for a while, and I could have asked for a motion to amend it to something like this. (I'm not sure if that would have passed.) Your original request was the impetus behind the proposal that the committee submitted; nobody else was asking for it. The committee thought it pretty reasonable at the time, before we realized the requirements to ensure accuracy made it much less practical. I would encourage all swimmers going to any meet to bury the Meet Director and Meet Referee with official requests for splits during the meet for every swim that they participate in. Hmmm, real mature. Sorry the world doesn't turn exactly as you wish it.
