So I see back in Feb Megan broke 3 Masters world records and recently I was just reading Dara Torres Book 'Age is just a number' and something caught my eye...
pg. 126 "FINA, the international governing body of swimming, requires a swimmer to sit out for a nine month period from events they recognize (this does not include Masters) after declaring an intent to come back and swim.
Ok so does this mean that if Jendrick is now a masters swimmer she would have to join USS swimming and quit masters and wait for 9 months before she could swim in say Olympic Trials?
Same question with Dara Torres - did she have to first quit masters and join USS and wait 9 months prior to doing any international meets?
Or could Jendrick be in Masters and USS at the same time?
Just got me curious. Thanks in advance. :)
It would be cool to see them swim again!:applaud:
I got to swim in Megan Jendrick's first masters meet in Olympia, WA in Feb. 2010. I just happened to enter the 100 and 200 *** for a "change of scenery"...and then find out who I'm swimming next to! :bolt:
From my vantage point she was VERY fast. In the 200 for example, I was coming into the turn almost at the 175 point, and I could hear the entire crowd erupt in cheer. My first thought...oh great, she's already finished!!! :bow:
