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?

    Honestly I don't get the pushback against publishing Top 10 lists. Yes most people couldn't compete, many couldn't even do swim practice for extended periods. So how does it hurt you that a handful managed to do so, and that they will make Top 10 when normally they wouldn't? Do you think they are somehow unaware that it was easier this year? This is masters. There is plenty of fun to go around, no need to pee in the pool.
