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?

    Mission Viejo Pool is undergoing some very nice renovations that will be done mid 2004, with plenty of time for nationals in 2005. As for the pools, I've swam in Newport Harbor and Irvine and several other pools in this area before coming to Mission, and Mission Viejo Pool is by far the nicest. The pools were resurfaced just few years ago, and the Offices, deck, concourse, bleachers etc are being renovated as we speak. It actually has 3 pools in the complex, one 50Mx25Y pool, and two 25Yx25M pools, one with a diving well, the other is a teaching pool. It is also situated on a pretty large chunk of land, so there is ample room for concourse, bleachers, office facilities etc. The only facility that I have seen that is of comparable caliber is Long Beach pool (I'm not sure of it's proper name, plus it's indoors, so it's comparing apples and oranges). I'm not sure what "30 year old" has to do with all this... Mission pool has very nice gutters, it is a deep(fast) pool, wide lanes... Kept very up to date and well maintained. Also, I think it's due some major Kudos for managing to be open and even host a number of events even while under renovations. My apologies if my response comes across as little harsh. I would like to invite people who have doubts about the facility to come and visit it before they pass judgement. About the facility or it's adequacy. Also, there is some limited PR material showing off the pool, available at our team website, along with A PDF file of our 2005 National's Bid detailing additional information about the pool. www.mastersmvnswim.org Thank You
