2010 Worlds in Sweden

I'm interested but that's still 2 years away so I guess I'll have to wait and see. Looks beautiful there. What's the weather like that time of year? Give it's northern location, I imagine a lot more towards Winter. EDIT: Never mind. Assumed that it would be in April. It's in August, which I can only imagine is beautiful there. WOOT!!! Paul

August has been the better of the summer months here more often than not the past 7 yrs I have lived over here. so much so that most swedes have been moving their 4 week summer vacation from July to Aug. since july has been cold and wet. I know 2010 is a long way away, but I figured I'd post the site info, so those that want, can get the email updates. one of the Swedish Masters teams, Hellas, has already booked rooms for those two weeks.

probably no humidity in Sweden. Plus, plenty of women that look like Tiger Wood's wife.

here is one link to a place to help people find houses or cottages around europe. they have listings for sweden too http://www.novasol.co.uk/ But I would suggest contacting the team in charge of the meet info@2010finamasters.org the website set up for Worlds in Sweden www.2010finamasters.org/.../Browse.jsp another option is camping cabins, not too far from the city. most of them have buses that run in and out of the city, or you could rent a car for the week or so. here is a link to the amusement part in gotherberg that has links to hotels, camping and cabins.

Ooooo, this may be a new goal! I've always wanted to go over to Scandanavia. What's required to qualify for Worlds? There are QTs for each age group per event. And they are about 10% higher (i.e slower) than USMS LCM Nats QTs. IIRC, if you swim the event and fail to go the QT, they list you as having a NT in the results.

I just went to Perth and had the best time! I can't wait for 2010. How would I find a house to rent for the week or so we will be there? A few South Africans did that in Perth, and it was a brilliant move...

Let's go Paul. We have two years to save $$ and plan the trip. :bouncing::banana::groovy: I am seriously considering this trip. Mel and Erika have also expressed interest so it would be at least a 2 week trip. And it would one of my last LCM meets in the 40-44 age group.
