Hi, all. You guys are some of the people I respect most.
As "race directors", we can find an alternate insurance coverage. But can we somehow be able to be recognized events by USMS? That way, we can hold OW events that are listed on the calendar. And, why has the Tampa Bay Marathon Swim been taken off the USMS calendar? We're not going to be sanctioned by USMS, but we're going to make an announcement soon regarding the alternate sanctioning. There are events for Barbados and Bermuda listed, and they can't even be considered for USMS sanctioning.
OK, Jim, I should bring you up to date. The Tampa Bay Marathon Swim was on the USMS calendar prior to March 1st. It was listed as a sanctioned event because we were granted under the old rules. The sanction was pulled, so was the listing at USMS.org on the calendar, yet other unsanctioned events are listed.
