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?
Well, I swam in the pool 30 years ago. And then it was considered the state of the art then. If they have done recent work thats fine. But each person is different. I even knew people who swam good at the old LA pool built in 1932. What I'm tired of is people from the western states knocking down pools in other parts of the country. The Indy pool even held the olympic trails. Neither Long Beach Belmont Shores or Mission Viejo are to this now. This means that the USA swimming didn't feel that the Long Beach pool built around 1968 is up for the 2004 Olympic trails. That doesn't mean that its bad for master swimming nationals. And pools do need to be updated, if they are 30 years old and older. I remember swimming in the LA pool that was use in the 1932 olympics. This was in 1972 and it was dated by then. Also, Misson Viejo talks about National Championships. Most of these occured under Mark during the 1970's and 1980's. And the area has not suffered like Northern Orange County has with the growth of low-skilled immirgrants. There are a lot of middle to upper middle class families that live in the area, and why they are beaten out by the Irvine Novas for the past 10 years, I don't know.
