I'm new to the whole masters swimming thing. I retired at 15, but I'm back and ready to kick some serious booty and have lots of fun. After hearing about nationals I am so pumped, but I am confused. What do you need to do to qualify? Are there certain times you need to qualify? (I'm 24 (next month) and I'm a sprint free girl). Also, have dates been selected yet? Any info any of you can provide would be awesome.
Oh, and worlds, how does that work? I'm so excited to be back in the pool, I find myself longing to be in the pool when I have more than 24 hours off.
Thanks!!
Hi Mark :),
People have to prove their times if they are significantly off? I had never heard this. With so much going on at Nationals I can't imagine anyone even making the time to do this...
And I'd venture to say that YMCA times do count. I was always under the impression (from I'm not sure where) that you had to have swum a "qualifying" time in the two years prior to the meet. Is that right?
Let me know.
