I like privacy sufficiently that I don't even have any social media accounts. But as far as swimming information goes, isn't it a little too late for that? Once a kid does a meet or two they're in all the third-party data-scraping platforms, and neither quitting swim nor an LSC policy change is going to scrub that. It would take a total paradigm shift across the sport. Not that I'd be opposed: I just wonder if it's practical.
