Alright Hugh - here is my stab...
Have results been posted for Cleveland yet? I mean, if I can find out how I swam ahead of time I can decide how much time off work I should take for this trip. Better yet, I can decide how late I can stay at the Great Lakes Brewing Company and still make it up for my events. :)
Ooooopps!! I've been meaning to ask this for a few days now, and obviously did not read the last few postings!!!
Sorry!!
I am anxiously waiting for them too though!:confused:
The Cleveland State University Natatorium will be open for all Masters swimmers on Monday and Tuesday, August 12th and 13th from 11AM to 3PM.
I would like to thank Wally Morton, CSU Aquatics Director and Head Men's Swimming Coach for making this possible.

New question I heard on deck at a local meet yesterday. Laura, can you please clarify this statement made on the info page?
Men's heats and women's heats will start at alternate ends of the pool. Women's heats will precede men's heats for each event.
I'm a little confused by this. Using the 100 free as a generic example, does this mean:
A) Heat 1 of the women's 100 free starts from end A. Then heat 2, 3, 4, etc of the Women start from end A. After the final heat the first heat of the Men's 100 free starts from end B.
or
B) Heat 1 of the women's 100 free starts from end A. Then Heat 1 of the Men's 100 free starts from end B. Alternate until all heats are exhausted.
I'm sure it is example A because your second sentence says Women's heats precede Men's but I just want to be sure because the word "alternate" is confusing as it can give two possible scenarios. Plus I can't extract the benefit to swapping ends at the conclusion of each event.
Thanks,
Jeff
How late will the pool be open on Thursday?
Some of us are driving, and should be arriving Thursday afternoon/evening. If the pool closes after the distance races, then we would want to arrive earlier to loosen up in the warm-up pool. Of course, it would be nice to work on starts/turns in the competition pool (after the races are over).
The distance events on Thursday are estimated to end at 10:30PM. The competition pool will close after the last heat of the 1500 meter free.
The warm-up pool will be open from 6:30 AM until the completion of the last heat of the 1500 meter free.
