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?

    With Covid still rampant, I do not see State or S C Nationals on the horizon for us. I was wondering about nationals too. It is hard to see it happening, that's a whole different ballgame (lots of travel, hotel, etc) than small local meets that are often limited to a single club. Yes, I get that people can decide for themselves but a "national" event encourages travel from afar and the risks aren't limited to just participants. And if you limit the scope (number of participants, how far they can travel, or whatever) then I'm not sure it is properly a "nationals" event. Glad I don't have to make that call. :-)
