Since USMS has no designated SCM Nationals there are many of us that would like to find something that comes close.
There has been a December SCM meet in Long Beach that has a lot of the criteria for an excellent winter meet: at or near sea level, indoors, extra warm-up pool, very near end of season.
Please post your feedback on an excellent SCM meet that fills all or most of the criteria. :banana: (sorry, I just like this guy...)
I love SCM!
The ones I am keeping an eye out for are:
1. Long Beach - 1st week of Dec most years; look at Southern Pacific Masters website. Hey, if i'm going to fly somewhere in Dec, it should be a nice place!
2. Possible in Chicago - this might be the final grand prix? But rumor has it is that it's going to be 1st weekend of Dec as well (ask Nadine?)
3. Somewhere in New England - again, rumored to be 1st weekend of Dec as well. (ask Tracy G?)
4. Northern California's in mid Oct - look at Pacific Masters website (ask Kerry O'B?)
5. AZ - aka, the Ron Johnson.....oooohhh I love this meet! I stay with my sister!! Dates have varied from Oct thru Dec, I think Katy J has to work around the existing schedules at Mona Plummer (ie, masters is low man on the totem pole).
Those are the 2 1/2 day format meets I am eyeing. The grand prix series - ask Mark Gill.
