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!
So I find it odd that some distance freestylers can't come back and do that double yet others say they can do both 800/1000 and 1500/1650 on the same day? :dunno:
I'm suggesting the 800 be swum as the morning session of the first day with other events in the afternoon and the 1500 be swum the last day as the afternoon session. Put the 400 Free as the first event of the day, the day before the 1500, which in most cases would be on the meets third day.
Switch up the 1500 and 800 each year for those who would like the 1500 as the first event. The 400 Free would remain on the day before the last distance event.
