The Pacific Masters Swimming 2002 Short Course Yards Championships will be held at the University of California Santa Cruz April 12, 13, and 14. The postmark deadline is March 30 and must arrive no later than April 3rd.
Santa Cruz is a beautiful scenic town on the California coast just north of Montery and about 70 miles south of San Francisco. There are many reasonably priced hotels near the pool. There are also many unreasonably priced hotels there also.
The meet sheet is at

There are many Pacific Masters swimmers who are in New Zealand competing at the FINA World Masters Champioships, so it might be the year to sneak a medal.
(It the Championships have less than 700 swimmers entered, it will be considered a small championship) :D

The meet was blessed with great weather. 823 swimmers competed and the meet recorded 3214 splashes with 314 relay entries.
Does the 3214 figure include the relays, or just individual splashes?
I did a final report of the numbers for the NEM meet a couple weeks back, and we had:
Female:
1188 splashes + 185 scratches + 40 no shows = 1413 entries
Male:
1652 splashes + 292 scratches + 69 no shows = 2013 entries
Individual:
2840 splashes + 477 scratches + 109 no shows = 3426 entries
Relays:
326 splashes + 2 scratches + 2 no shows = 330 entries
Total:
3166 splashes + 479 scratches + 111 no shows = 3756 entries
That doesn't include perhaps 100 entries on 12 or so people that were pulled from the meet before we started... we just deleted the entries entirely because we refunded the entry fees.
