So open water swimmers can now hold the boat to rest?

Can we talk about this rule (303.3 I think)? Anyone who was there, whether you voted yea or nay, can you please explain your thinking? At first blush, I don't like that it passed. But I'd like to know what it really means for the future of OWS in USMS events.

  • There is absolutely nothing elitist about people swimming an open water race under their own power from point A to point B. Pretty hard to argue this point. Well said.
