The finals were fine.  They were short and moved fast.  I think that prelims should be tightened up a little.  Oh, and something needed to be done with the warm down pool during prelims.  It was an absolute zoo.  It looked very dangerous and I am shocked that none of the swimmers got hurt.  Kids just hanging out chatting, long wait times,  swimmers sprinting when it is a warm down pool, no room, etc.   Perhaps have a no standing lane?  Have some lanes just for boys and some for girls?  Have a lane for those coming for warm ups later in the meet and the other lanes for warm down. That was causing some issues or coaches monitoring them.  It was fine for finals though.

Totally agree with you about the warm-down pool and noticed the exact same thing as it was probably the worst I’ve ever seen, but thinking about it that is likely the direct result of having to easy of cuts (girls open cuts being basically equal to 13-14 girls cuts) for this level of meet.

Before someone comes in here saying that is another elitist comment, for example we can simply move the girls 100 back cut to a 1:03.19. While it’s harder for girls to drop post puberty, they don’t stop all together and that is seen with the USA motivational times as while they don’t get faster by as much as the boys from 13-14 to 15-16, they still do get faster. 1:03.19 is the same distance from the 15-16 ‘A’ time as the 13-14 champs cut is from the 13-14 ‘A’ time. That time is still basically 4 seconds off the sectional cut in the 100 back so plenty of athletes not at that level still get a meet but it reduces the number of swimmers in that event from 233 to 137 swimmers which is absolutely plenty for an LSC [b]CHAMPIONSHIP[/b] meet.[/quote]
+1, the situation in the cool down pool can only be rectified by having fewer swimmers at the meet, which means tightening up some of the qualifying standards. I agree they should use the 15-16 motivational standards to set the cuts. None of the cuts should be below an A 15-16 standard. [/quote]
