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!
Also, there is a rule on the books that says the 400/500 cannot be the day after the distance day. This was put in place because too many distance swimmers complained about coming back the next day to swim the 400/500 free. That is why the 400 IM is usually on Friday (day after distance day). This is a dumb rule and distance swimmers who complained should be embarrassed to call themselves distance swimmers.
My view on this topic is completely unbiased by the fact that I enjoy both the 400 IM and the 1000/1650/800/1500.;)
