Discouraging people from going to nationals? Not so, at least with qualifying times. Remember that ALL USMS-registered swimmers are able to participate in up to three events at a National Championship meet without having to "qualify" for them. You may swim up to 3 more additional Bonus events if you meet qualifying times for those events.
Now as for discouraging people from going because of location, that seems to be up for debate in the general discussion area.:dedhorse:
If you want to go to the meet, I don't think you're going to run into anyone who will discourage you from doing so. There are a lot of amazing people to meet, a lot of great races to watch and it is an overall good time!
