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!
There are a lot of good pro and con arguments on this thread but this is the one I basically side with.
Me too. I mean, I have swum both the 800/1000 and the 1500/1650 in the same multi-day meet, but I am not sure I have ever raced both and I am very sure I have never raced both well. When I have room in my life for a swim "season," one or the other of these events is pretty much always going to be my focus event in my focus meet, which is why I want it on the first day and why I would not plan to race the other one in the same meet anyway.
