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?

    Just a thought --- Move S C Nationals to the fall?I doubt that would happen. I'd say let's just rally around Spire Institute for LCM Nationals. Hopefully, vaccinations will be sufficiently rolled out by that point and that also gives the organizing committee time consider COVID protocols like requiring negative tests or proof of vaccination to swim reduced / bare minimum of officals on deck purely automatic timing / no need for timers mix of outdoor and indoor seating to create room for physical distancing staging areas for heats so that relatively few people are in the pool area at any time possibly an extended number of days to allow for the slower running of the meet ... what else?
