I don’t even understand why some sports (eg track & field, cross country, swimming & diving, golf) even need conferences. If the sport is structured such that there is a large field and the team results are based on how the individuals score, wouldn’t it be better to set up with a regional tournament that is independent of the conference (golf kind of is), and then to the extent you have dual meets or small tournaments, make it so that they are regional in nature.
I get the importance of conference in team sports where you are playing other teams in your conference (football, basketball, volleyball, soccer, and even tennis) but making swimming based on a conference structure is trying to put in a square peg into a round hole. Just use the structure that makes the most sense for the sport.
