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

Well the meet may have finished, but the meet is not over until all the paperwork is finished. Luckily, my part of the meet is over.
I would love to send a .cl2 file except that we dont use Hy-Tech for meet management. We use a program that a local vendor developed.
Just for the fun of it, I tried to score the 50-54 age group as we are both in that age group. NEM has some awesome swims.
If anyone wanted to run up the scores it would have to be a tedious hand job. It might be difficult to score as we both had different rules for entering events.
In the distance events- the 1650 and the 1000, Pacific looked like we had more swimmer in the top ten positions. Pacific also lets distance swimmers in both long distance events.
If I read the NEM meet sheet, and judging by past history there is no guarentee of that, a NEM swimmer could enter 10 individual events. Pacific has a limit of seven events per meet. So with the same number of good swimmers, NEM has an almost 50% advantage.
I think it might be fun to score. We can work on the details. (If the NEM meet gets much bigger, what are you going to do? run two courses or longer days
:cool: )
