Anyone planning to attend Nationals in Omaha? If it wasn't for the venue, I would swim at SCY Nationals. You got to admit, competing in the Olympic Trials pool merely a few hours after Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps made a splash is awesome!
This is an amazing facility and the warmup/warmdown pool exceeded my expectations.For those of you who couldn't come ,it is ,I think ,8 50M lanes and 6 25M lanes.2 of the 25M lanes are permanent designated sprint lanes with the blocks with the"fins" so your back leg can push off on track starts.
I hate to complain about anything,but the Concession stand warrants complaint.Gold Medal Sponsorship was $175 which seemed a little steep to me so I skipped it.I don't know what food that got you,but at those prices it should be lots of Omaha steaks.I figured the concessions here would be expensive,but that we'd have good choices.What we got was a hotdog stand.After complaints they added yogurt and fruit and they already had nachos and a cheese bowl,but for the lactose intolerant among us(90% of the worlds population) our total choice of entree's was hotdogs.
