The next Canadian Masters Swimming Championships will be held 5/20/2011 to 5/23/2011 in Montreal. I believe it will be SCM.
Unfortunately the Masters Swimming Canada site has very little information on the meet as yet. I would like to correspond with someone who knows more details, including venue, which events are on which dates, event order, etc.
Any ideas? Thanks!
I have heard that sometimes they don't measure and, if they don't, our times wouldn't count for USMS purposes. I am going to confirm in advance with the meet director that they will measure the pool and sign this form: www.usms.org/.../gto_rectab_pool_measurement.pdf. I don't want to travel and not have my times count!
As long as it is a sanctioned event by a FINA organization, your times will "count" internationally. However, if you want your times to be considered for USMS Top Ten and/or records, you'll need CMSC's to be sanctioned or recognized by USMS. USMS Rule 105 has, in a couple places, wording to the effect of If you want your swim to count for records and Top Ten, it needs to be in a USMS-Sanctioned or USMS-Recognized event.
I am not sure what has been done with this in the past, as I know a lot of PNAers venture to Vancouver to swim MSC meets, but check into that Sanction/Recognition thing if you're going to be setting the pool on fire, eh? :canada:
