Yesterday, I made my reservations at the Outrigger Reef for the upcoming Nationals. Much to my surprise, I found that the "special rate" for the Standard Room on their web page was $7/night cheaper than that offered for the USMS Group Rate. So I booked online for the Special Rate.
When I then talked to the woman who handles Group Reservations, she said that she had just become aware of the issue and was thinking about extending the Special Rate to the USMS people. Duh!! Seems like she will like or not once the word gets out.
Aloha Again Philip and Gail,
Philip - the heater is generally not needed during that time of year, and the pool is kept cool enough without needing to add cool water to it.
Gail - the courses are deemed equal per USMS rules, and therefore we will have the odd heats in one pool and the even heats in the other throughout the meet. Also fyi - in the 50 meter pool the racing lanes are in the center of the pool with the warm up lanes on either side. This pool is configured that at either end of the 50 meter lengths it is shallower and the middle portion of the pool is 7'.
Hope this further clarifys things for you.
Janet
