2010 SCY Nationals

That is awesome news! and a group of 4 of us that swim together in Atlanta are going to go for it!! I have looked into some local swim meets for qualifying. Does anyone know what requirements there are to having a valid qualifying time? Do meets have to be USMS sanctioned? What if I swim in a USASwimming meet that has an "open" category? What about a local developmental meet? Do I have to be a USMS member when I obtain the time or can I register later? How long is a time good for (i.e. when can I obtain a national time for 2010?)? Also, I'm looking at the National Qualifying Times for 2009 (last updated 9/29/08). WIll them times change for 2010? Are the new times available? What's the best place to go to keep up with info on the 2010 nationals in terms of dates, event listing, deadlines, etc.? Thanks! Rich
