The New Approach to Meets

swoomer
over 4 years ago
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?

    may be bit naive to expect enough open meets/time trials will appear in the next few weeks to create a legitimate Top Ten/All-American list. I am guessing you are mostly focusing on the current, SCM season. However, since USA-S meet times can count towards TT/AA/records as well, I'm not sure the lack of sanctioning of USMS meets should necessarily delegitimize rankings. Maybe I am just being devil's advocate here. Not necessarily looking to spar. I realize my situation is not the norm for many competitive USMS swimmers.
