OK, it may be over a year away but why not start a thread on 2011 Short Course (Spring) Nationals? This meet will be held at the newly-renovated Kino Aquatics Center in Mesa, which is just east of Phoenix. So go ahead and pipe in, I'm sure we will get some good conversation flowing.
Sorry by not official, I meant not a national championship. DCB, at least for last the two years, has put on USMS sanctioned races.
Kurt, the open water races that have been held at the same time as other nationals have never been "National Championships"....those are bid on and help at a different time. I'm with you and would like to see the possibility of them tied together but that hasn't happened yet.
Also, we will certainly be supporting DCB's hosting this event....however the insurance, requirements for officials, logistics, etc. just simply did not make sense. What did make sense is to work with these guys to make sure the word got out and let folks who are interested in OW know their will be a VERY good option for them on Saturday as well as a chance to swim some events at Nationals!
