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.
Jeff- putting distance people first is great for us sleeping in, however, would have disasterous consequences upon any buffet-style banquet the meet might host. Imagine hordes of distance-types destroying the desserts while we're still sprinting...
When a meet host offers a five day format, we are able to split the 1000 and 1650 onto separate days. At Rutgers, there were on Thursday and Friday. This past summer at Mission Viejo, the 1000 was on Thursday and the 1500 was on Monday.
Jim,
Your splits were very consistent so we extrapolated the last 200. We also assumed you would have sped up on the last 100, so that one was a second faster.

I have not yet been to the pool and looked at the hotels, but will go in a few months.
As for the shuttle, there are four hotels that the host is planning on serving. Swimmers will have th opportunity to purchase a shuttle pass that will be good for the meet.
Parking is plentiful at the facility. If you drive, there are several lots surrounding the pool that will be available to us during the meet.
Is anyone familiar enough with the area to tell me if it is practical to walk from the Wellesey Inn to the pool? When I look it up on MapQuest, it says that it is a half mile, but is it a safe, comfortable walk?
Also, the latest magazine lists some of the hotels as having shuttles for "nominal" fees. Does anyone know the specifics on the shuttles, i.e. how often they run, do you pay each time you ride or can you get a pass for the duration, etc.
Finally, if one chooses to drive to the pool what is the parking like?
Thanks!
