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 think I know the answer but I will ask it anyway. Is mesa an outdoor pool, indoor pool or an open air facility with a covered roof?Outdoor pool, no roof ... unless maybe Paul and Laura have been building one in all of their free (:laugh2:) time.

Ok. Thanks. Good luck to ya'll that are going. My delicate fur isn't fond of outdoor pools.
forget racing backstroke and it's all good.
Please...the man is a backstroke national champion!
Wookiee, I have to say, I had some of my best nationals backstroke swims in outdoor pools (Clovis; Mt Hood).

There is a lot of shade in the form of sunshades on the west and north sides of the pool. That should offer some protection of your delicate fur :)
It is a VERY nice pool that underwent major upgrades two years ago. The blocks are new, the pool is deep, and the water is fast. Should be a good venue for Nationals.

Sounds like a great venue but I will pass. Backstrokers and outdoors don't go well together.
Maybe I'm having a blonde moment . . . or maybe I can't figure out how to use the USMS Calendar of Events . . . but I can't find it listed on USMS.
Someone please help the Mermaid.

Having swam at KINO POOL, I can tell you it is a real fast pool. I am a very slow swimmer, but all through out the 1650 , I felt as if some one was pushing me to go faster, really liked that pool.:chug::anim_coffee::coffee:
