I have seen many of the posts made here from master swimmers from all over the USA, Canada and the World.
It has me wondering about the state of master swimming.
1. Which State has the most swim meets.
2. Which State has the most master swimmers registered.
3. How many master swimmers registered are in the USA
What PV did a while back was have the PVS (USA-S) meets automatically recognized by PVLMSC. It wasn't a true dual sanction (a dual sanction would mean you could enter the PVS meet as a USMS member). You still had to be a fully registered USA-S member to enter the PVS meet; but if you were also USMS registered it meant your times could get submitted for masters recognition. But a few years ago when we had to start turning in pool measurement and bulkhead cert forms for our times to be official, we did away with adding the automatic recognition to PVS meets.
Not sure if all of this makes sense, but just wanted to clarify we didn't actually have dual sanctioned meets in PV. I've heard of meets like that but I think you have to have separate heats for masters and for USA-S.
Ah, perhaps so. I recall Bill Marlin telling me a LC meet I swam in a few years ago was dual sanctioned. But he may have intended your meaning. Another LC meet I entered he told me he had considered applying for a masters sanction, but there wasn't time.
Like Floyd, I swam in a meet in NC a couple years ago that was, in fact, officially dual sanctioned. We did have a separate warm up lane. Unfortunately, the meet director failed to submit the times of the masters swimmers to USMS.
