Haven't seen much about Atlanta next May. Seems like a National LMSC challenge would get a few swimmers motivated. Seems there ought to be a way to break up teams so that they are roughly comparable. What about a heavyweight division (100+ swimmers), light heavyweight division (75-100) middleweight (50-75) and lightweight (under 50)?
Hi Allen,
I was wondering the same thing, as I heard there would be news after the New Year... can't find anything on USMS or the Georgia Masters Site...
I have been wondering the same thing... A current swimmer for GT gave me the following information concerning reserving a room on-campus...
"About staying in the dorms (from a current member of Georgia Tech Swim & Dive): you can contact GT Conference Services about booking rooms at www.conference.gatech.edu/reservations.cfm but during the summer, I think they only work with groups of 50 people or more and it will probably be more expensive than just booking a hotel somewhere in Midtown."
Is the above information true?? I would assume they would have a different policy for reserving dorm rooms for nationals, but not sure... :confused:

The meet hotels seem to have very good rates for a major metro area - $109 ish range very close to the pool. I have no idea what the dorm rates would be, but it'd have to be very compelling (IMHO) to trade in a nice king sized bed for a dorm bed.
I think staying in the dorms would be much more fun! I would be willing to pay the same price as the hotels that are offered, or even a little more, to stay on campus... Got to love the good ol' college days! :chug:
Who is planning on staying at the Ritz? I jest, but I did check, and it was about half what I expected the Ritz to be.
Has anyone checked to find out what the Tech Trolley schedule is going to be? The website just says limited schedule.
It looks like MARTA will get you to the midtown stop (where the Trolley picks up) in 3 minutes and runs every 20 minutes Sat and Sun (every 15 week days) from Peachtree Center which opens up the hotel selections. Nothing to beat $109 that I saw, but most of the loyalty programs seem to be represented there and the prices were decent.
So far, I have the best hotel price - free. I'm staying with my parents at their house. They live about 30 min away. I will just have to drive down every day. The dorms sound like fun but my parents would be upset if I didn't stay with them.
Allen, did you notice the event order is the same as LCN in Portland? Yup - just different course.
Their bid diagram shows two 10-lane courses in a 50m by 25m pool. The courses start at opposite ends of the pool and end at a bulkhead. There are two bulkheads in the pool.
