Does anyone know when information will be available for this event, such as order of events and negotiated hotel rates on the shuttle route, etc.? Thanks.
Yes, I did like the schedule when the meet was in Tempe. But in Indy it was nuts having to do back-to-back events, though they were about an hour apart.
To tell you the truth, the schedules are fine. As a backstroker and breaststroker, I can never be satisfied with the lineup because it's almost impossible to keep backstroke and breaststroke events separated without one or both of them bumping into an IM race.
In case anyone's wondering what I thought up, here is a schedule I formulated, based on the order at masters nationals and the USA Swimming order at their nationals. Obviously, in long course you would throw the 100 IM out.
Day 1: 1000/1650
Day 2: 500 free (men or women), 200 ***, 100 free, 200 back, 50 fly, 100 IM, free relay
Day 3: 400 IM, 50 back, 200 free, 100 fly, 100 ***, 50 free
Day 4: 500 free (men or women), 50 ***, 100 back, 200 fly, 200 IM, medley relay
Putting the distance events first each day gives people a little more sleeping in time.
