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?

    the USMS 2020 LCM TOP TEN has been posted Ouch! 3 people in my age group for the 100 free...total. Check out the women's 55-59 age group. There is only 1 person in the 100 free, 50 free, 50 ***, and several other events. Some of the other events had two. The only event posted for the events I checked was the Good Life Games, where 1 team was represented, and there were 66 swimmers. WHAT A JOKE. (No, Michael, I am not expressing "envy" either. As a swimmer who only ranks at around the 40% mark in my best event, I would never even imagine myself in the Top Ten-- unless I live to be 100 years old! I am also not envious of others competing right now, since I have no desire to do so until things return back to a safe normal. As a completely objective person on the subject, I think it's a JOKE to even have Top Ten this year.)
