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?
So there is an openish meet scheduled in South Carolina www.clubassistant.com/.../meet_information.cfm They have a 200 swimmer limit which doesn't seem to fit the "Phase one" guidelines. I will be very interested in how it goes. I hope they follow the entrants to see if anyone gets Covid. If there are no cases it would be a good sign for future meets and if there are that would also be good to know. I hope everyone stays safe.
