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

Bob:
I only have text files that have been generated by the local meet management system and these files are in two columns. (The good part is that it follows a column format).
I might be fun to have a series of meets that are all on the same day. We are working on trying to get an SDIF file from the meets, but it may take a while.
We would have to set up a way so that everyone can compete in the same number of events.
I hope you are able to expand your meet. I wonder how big a meet can be. At some point swimmers will just leave for home if it goes to long. In Pacific, we have found a the limit to be around 900 swimmers. A meet with 900 swimmers makes for a very long day (even when running two courses, but then we let the distance swimmers swim both the 1000 and 1650 which does stretch the day).
I am interested in how to make our meets more efficient. Run men and women together in all events 400 yards or longer? I would be interesting to swim against all your lane mates.
