Deep breath.....
Lets use this thread to make recommendations or create a wish list of changes we would like see made to the sanctioning / insurance process. I think there are a bunch of good ideas buried in the "stupid people" thread... so I expect a little bit of cut and paste will be in order. Please educate yourselves by reading the relevant documents.
Peace, love, and positive buoyancy.....
8 Bridges 2012 - 22 participants.
MIMS 2012 - 90 entries all relays
Tampa Bay 2012 - 19 solo, 12 more in relays
Swim the Suck 2012 - 65
Boston Light - 36
Kingdom swim 2012 - over 100 entries for 7 distances, lots of non masters ages.
There's a lot of work proposed to sanction for such small turnout.
Whats your point? Do you think these events are too ambitious for USMS?
I think what I proposed will serve all OW events equally. If USMS isn't interested in sanctioning longer OW events they should just say so. I can accept that.
