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?

    We have to remember that vaccination only protects the vaccinated. It does not mean the vaccinated are not still carriers of the virus.Totally agreed; which is why I would think everyone entering the venue, competitor or otherwise, would need to show proof of vaccination. Unfortunately, I think we are going to be masked/distanced through the next summer/winer season.Totally agree. It's a small price to pay for our freedom to associate, our ability to be together, commiserate and compete like the good old days.
