Why are SC nationals in April this year? I hope this won't happen in future years. This has really changed our training schedule i.e. it makes it a short winter! Also here in Colorado it conflicts with ski season. Does anyone agree with me?
I agree with you - it will conflict with the Colorado ski season.
Indianapolis has another major event in May. That event tends to bid up the price of hotel rooms. And there are more people who will go to Indianapolis for the 500 than go there for a swim meet.
There was also only ONE bid for the 2005 SCY yards meet.
I hope it wont happen in future years, but I would like to thank Mel Goldstein who has come through to help with the national championships. Without him, you would not be having a great facility to compete in.
Championship Committee could always use more help in identifying places to hold the National Championships, and then convincing the facility management that they would really like to hold a major meet there.
But look at it this way, you have six months to get ready ;) . Happy training.
