Who made the order of events for Fort Lauderdale Nationals?

Who's bright idea was it to have the 1,000 free and the 500 free back to back with less than 24 hours rest?

That is why we have multiple schedules. Some years it isn't the best for your events. Some years, the schedule does a better job of meeting your particular needs, but not those of another competitor.
that's totally true. unfortunately, there is no way humanly possible to please every single swimmer that will be at nationals... if you've pleased the distance swimmers, you've ticked off the sprinters. if you please the sprinters, you've probably ticked off the middle distance swimmers... if you please the IMers, you've most likely ticked off everyone else! and then there's some of us who specialize in a very unfortunate combination of events (ie the 200 back and 100 free). i've yet to go to a masters meet where these 2 events were not back to back, or my other 2 events (100 back and 200 free) were not back to back. i'm just glad that this nationals has at least 1 event between all of my events!
i think the HoD has done a pretty good job of coming up with schedules that will please the largest amount of swimmers... (but i know some of us are easier to please than others!)
:rolleyes: ;)
