Hej!
I just got a link to the 2010 Worlds and wanted to share it with everyone.

They even have a subscription to get email updates.

more news from the site
Custom t-shirts you can get up to 30 letters/numbers on the back
http://62.20.67.29/masters/
I'm really hoping the rest of my team wants to get them. the shirts are cheap (€10), but there is an extra €8 charge per order so a single shirt would be €18 but if I get the other 7 who are coming to order it's only €11.

I just sent a message off to the Meet Director to get an updated list of participants from the United States.
After removing the duplicates from the previous list, there were 202 American swimmers. I am trying to confirm if "USA" is synonymous with USMS, as I believe that there are a few Americans swimming with other Federations.
At this point there were 124 men and 78 women. The largest age group is 50-54 with 33 (17 women and 16 men.)
The USMS Coach Representatives to Worlds (Craig Keller, Cokie Lepinski, Ed Reed, and myself) are putting together plans to communicate to everyone before, during, and after the competition. Look for more from us soon!
The Swedish phrase of the day: Är min baddräkt FINA godkänd? (Is my swim suit FINA approved?)
I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day Weekend...World's competition starts in two months!
I hope to see you all....
The instructions for accreditation (check in) say:
"1 Identification; The print out from the receipt of the online registration system (barcode) shall be shown."
I have several booking confirmations and only one has a bar code on it. I finally figured out that the email receipts that I received do not have the bar code, but if I click on my most recent confirmation email from masters@resebolaget.se where it says:
Click here for access to payment and complete order
I then get a receipt with a barcode on it.
My most recent booking confirmation shows the information that I gave regarding my transfer needs from/to the airport. When I tried to give them that information earlier, their system was not working.
FROM THE USMS COACH REPRESENTATIVES:
USMS Deck/Tent space is secured at both the Valhalla and Lundby pools. Look for USMS banners at each venue.
Web pages have been created for USMS Athlete info including Name, Age Groups, USMS Teams, Hotel and Arrival Dates.
Our On-Deck Coaching Schedule is also posted.

See you all in Sweden Next Week!
