I talk about this more in-depth on my personal blog (not the blog in the USMS area, but the one below my sig block), but wondering if there is interest in having some sort of national OW series, similar to H2Open (magazine)'s new National Series.
I envision something like "most well-rounded" where you swim one event in each of three categories (1K to 4.9K, 5K-9.9K, 10K and up), then you're ranked with others in your age and sex range.
What say you?
Sounds good. I've been told on my blog that USMS awards points for swimming those and then one can earn all-star status. Although I still like the idea of having many options (including these swims) in the different categories and then still base the results on your best placing in one swim in each category. That way the award doesn't go to the swimmer with the most frequent flyer miles or expense account.
