Does anyone know when or precisely where the Masters World Championships will be in 2004? I understand that Italy won the bid, but I'm wondering when the meet will be held compared to the Indy and Georgia National meets that year. Thanks.
Hi Tall Paul,
I used to swim masters in Australia, and any swimming competition the Aussies put on will be top notch. As you're aware, they take swimming very seriously down under - it is considered a major sport there.
I was in my twenties when I lived there, I'm now in your age group, but I didn't swim for 15 years in between. After five kids (and about 40 pounds!) over those 15 years, I started back at it a few years back. You actually provided some encouragement to me at Santa Clara in 2001, in a very brief conversation just prior to one of our events.
If you want any tips about visiting Australia, find me with the Illinois Masters group in Tempe.
