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.....
Dear Race Directors:
If you had an open water event previously sanctioned by USMS that you've been forced to cancel for 2013 because of these new developments, you are invited to list them on this thread at the Marathon Swimmers Forum:

Alternatively, send me a PM and I will list it for you.
