How many people form USMS go to compete at masters worlds? I found qualifying times, but nothing above and beyond that. Can anyone give me more info. Also, is there any sort of sponsorship or is it if you want to go you have to pay your own way. Anyone know who is hosting this year (2005)? Thanks!
I am new to this site (and Masters swimming) so "please" have some patience with me on this....but does anyone know where we can find the information about qualifying to swim a particular event (or events) at the World Championships in 2006 in San Francisco? Is there a cut off date to qualify by? Are there SCY time equivelences ect...?
And the same question as above....(only about the SCY National Championships in Fort Lauderdale in 2005)........Related Question: I am interested in swimming the 400 yard I.M. at the 2005 SCY Nationals ....but I wasn't sure if I had to actually swim that particular event at some swim meet first (prior to some cut off date) in order to swim it at Nationals?
Also....One final related question (sorry!!):....I am a member of a newly started YMCA Masters team in a realtively small town....We don't have many swimmers (and I may be the only one interested in swimming in any competitions).....Will my times at a YMCA sanctioned meet count towards qualifying for the USMS SCY Nationals?....(or will I have to actually swim my events at a USMS sanctioned meet first in order to qualify for the USMS SCY Nationals?)
Anyone with answers to one or all of the above questions will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
