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?

  • The voice of reason. I'm struggling to find your logic. Is it "it's equally unfair so it's fair"? Perhaps USMS can let me know before I purchase memberships for me and my adult children for next year's nationals whether we will be responsible for finding our own competitions with another organization or some quid pro quo "back massage" for time trial with a USMS coach within 100 miles.
