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!
I do not by the argument that it would make the meet longer, not that many people would chose both.
I don't think there's any question it would make the meet longer, it's more a matter of exactly how much longer it would make the meet. Anyone entering both the 1000 and 1650 would either be replacing a different (shorter) event or simply swimming an additional event that they otherwise would not have. In both cases it's going to add time to the meet.
