[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just as an aside -- for the swimming folks -- to achieve an officially recognized US Swim time -- for any and all purposes, including but not limited to, setting an official US record and qualifying for the Olympic trials -- you need to meet the US Swim Rules for qualifying times under 102.74.  As stated in the US Swim rulebook -- An official time can be achieved only (a) in a USA Swimming sanctioned event, or (b) in a USA Swimming approved competition, or (c) in an observed swim timed in accordance with all applicable rules.  So -- want to set a USA record?  You can do it at the local Y if the timing rules are followed.  [/quote]

this is so weird.[/quote]
Dear poster that thinks you can get qualified times by swimming in your backyard pool,
So let’s wrangle together a bunch of USA swimming officials for each high school meet.  :roll: /s

You’re delusional and need to stay in your lane.

No -- you are a snob -- and wrong.  You can set a record, or qualify for the Olympic trials, swimming in a high school pool as long as the timing requirements are met, and these days lots of high school pools are better than college pools.  Mostly a matter of how new, and when last renovated.  US Swimming is not going to miss out on a potential medal winner, because they happen to swim for some small town high school.  If they can swim fast -- good for them.  They will have plenty of opportunities to get a qualifying time.
