Iâ€m really gratified to hear that USMS is approving sanctions beginning in November. That doesnâ€t mean that any and all can swim in a particular meet. Some of us “race horses†are looking for competition. In my area, a team has a sanction for “members onlyâ€...an inter squad meet. So exclusionary events are OK? I live close by, but canâ€t compete because Iâ€m not affiliated with that team. How can this be a USMS event? ....I assume that records and Top Tens will be available to participants. I understand the limitations of COVID, and donâ€t begrudge a team from having an inter squad meet, but if it is in the name of the organization at large, to the exclusion of our members, I must question. Any thoughts?
Key word is "open". I think the argument is against closed time trials to count for top ten...you know for us team-less reindeer who would not be invited to play reindeer games.
But again, why should they not count? I haven't heard a reason from anybody besides that you personally do not get to participate.
