The New Approach to Meets

swoomer

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?

    Look, I understand the frustration. Ain't going to be any meets - intersquad or not, USMS or USA-S - in my area at all until the public schools start allowing outside renters, which at most recent survey sounds like it won't be any time through the end of the school year. And I am itching to race somebody. I just don't think my inability to do a USMS-official swim invalidates those that do, whether they do so at an intrasquad meet that meets all the sanction rules or a normal open meet. The voice of reason.
