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.....
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.
I would think a lot of work, regardless of turnout, will go along way in providing the all the participants(swimmers,volunteers, and race directors) the safest and most enjoyable experience.
