The New Approach to Meets

Iâ€Tmm really gratified to hear that USMS is approving sanctions beginning in November. That doesnâ€Tmt 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 only”...an inter squad meet. So exclusionary events are OK? I live close by, but canâ€Tmt compete because Iâ€Tmm 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€Tmt 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?

  • Come on, @JPEnge, @Kurt Dickson and @PWB! Living in Montana under a 100-mile radius limit effectively stops any meets UNLESS they are single team time trials. #openwater #flatheadlake #virtualgrandslam #virtualswimtathlonleague Don't tell anyone, but I'm currently atop the 60-64 SCM standings in FOUR events (from a pre-Covid meet in February), and any 50-54 ranking without Kurt's name is only as illegitimate as the 60-64 rankings with me at the TOP! I hope you kids don't take away my glory.
