2011 Spring Nationals - Mesa, AZ

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.

  • I don't see a meet timeline posted yet. Anyone know when that may be available? Sorry for the delay - the timeline is now available: www.usms.org/.../timeline.pdf Heat sheets for pre-seeded events are also posted (thanks, Jim!): www.usms.org/.../ Jeff
  • Thanx for the info to help me plan :applaud:
  • Since I'm new to this, do the age groups always swim in the same heat? Regular meets have us according to the times closest to us. I think it is cool to race your age group as much as possible in your heat/heats.
  • Full heats of each age group are swum together. The heats for are posted for the 50, 100 and 200 at: www.usms.org/.../
  • Heat sheets for pre-seeded events are also posted (thanks, Jim!): www.usms.org/.../ Sigh...I don't have scroll down as much as I used to...stupid aging process!
  • Sigh...I don't have scroll down as much as I used to...stupid aging process! I hear you. I used to look at the timeline and use the start of the following event as the guideline for when I'd be swimming. That's probably not such a good idea anymore.
  • Sigh...I don't have scroll down as much as I used to...stupid aging process! I sat next to two women in Austin who were swimming the 100 fly and at 60 to 64, they were in the third heat, which they commented on. I guess I will know I am old when I swim first heat at nats..... MJ
  • I thought they put the "stars of the show" 1st !!:)
