I was just looking over the schedule for long course nationals in Auburn, AL and I see the 800 and 1500 are on the same day, as were the 1000 & mile in Mesa. Please have one race at the beginning of the meet and one at the end of the meet so distance swimmers can do all their races, thanks!
It's unfortunate the distance swimmers cannot swim both events but unless we have two 50m courses for Summer Nationals or a third 25y course for Spring Nationals, it isn't feasible.Jeff
Don't give up distance swimmers!
If you want to swim both events badly enough, there are facilities built to accommodate such large championship events.
Find them and then - encourage them to bid for the championships.
Maybe you won't get the distance schedule every year, but what a nice thing for you if it was occasionally possible.
