If you thought Kino was great for the 2010 Masters Nationals, you should come race at Mesa's Skyline Aquatic Center, the same pool that will host USA Swimming's Grand Prix meet, April 4th to 6th for the Arizona Masters States SCY championships. The flyer's not up, but details and order of events are on Facebook - www.facebook.com/.../.
Special note for distance swimmers - you can make a great weekend out of this with:
1,650 on Friday night
1,000 on Saturday
500 on Sunday afternoon
PLUS, if you want to throw in an Open Water race, the Arizona Open Water Series kicks off on Sunday morning, April 6th in Tempe Town Lake (www.azopenwater.com/.
The pool meet is timed with the OW event so that you can do both, if you want :)

I would like to take a moment and gloat that I actually paid for first class on the return flight! I am really excited to visit chowsh and mooch off of staying with her, having her chauffer me around, and pay for all her lil' sis's meals while in town. Oh, and borrow all her clothes, too. YEAH!!! Jaadams, hopefully we'll meet again one day...probably in PHX. Their state meets usually have robust attendance, excellent competition, and ample deck space!

Michelle,
I think you're going to like the event even more as I believe it will include:
Exhibition races of 25 of each stroke
Exhibition 50 Monofin race
Optional, additional Misty Hyman Clinic on Sunday morning
Saturday night social

I saw that! With the exhibition events, that's more time I can be lurking in the locker rooms and using up all the hot water in the showers, or taking an extra long snooze in my deck chair!
The meet flyer is up and I have attached it here. Beyond the great meet lineup and the super-fast pool, you've also got two fun swimming options on Sunday morning:
Misty Hyman clinic -- see meet flyer
Open Water swim -- see www.azopenwater.com/
