Open Water Swim Sanctioning?

When will USMS allow for private company open water race directors to sanction events that part of a Masters team? Has anyone been able to get a sanction? Or will many of these remain self insured and not recognize masters or USA Swimming? I would like to open my event with separate categories for USMS and USA Swimming.

    Frosty, thank you for your insight, yet we have more coached owned teams. If they are a for-profit then they should not host swim meets or be allowed to have a team, under those rules! I read the minutes of the from the last executive meeting and they are worried that USAT has more members than USMS. They want to reach out to those athletes and get them more involved into masters swimming. It just ashamed that we are shooting ourselves in the foot, when masters could take a different look at the private events and see how they could be more involved.
