I just went to Greensboro for my first USMS nationals. I loved that there were two competition pools to keep things rolling. I'm curious how this will work in Omaha with the single pool. Will the days last longer or do fewer people typically compete in the summer? I realize it's not feasible to have two long course pools together but how will it affect the meet?
There are usually way fewer swimmers at Summer Nationals. Not to say it's a small meet - it's still big and there are tons of people. But not so many that the meet takes twice as long. I only have my subjective experience, but last year's Summer Nationals at Auburn went by pretty quickly. I'm sure there's someone with attendance figures and probably even actual start and end times for each day for recent meets....
