Jeff -I've seen the 4-day order or events from the USMS rule book, but seeing this is now a 5 day meet, is there a different order of events or the same but just the 1500 free on Wednesday?

It will be a different order of events, but it will be loosely based on the 4 day format in the rulebook. The official order of events for this meet is expected to be approved at convention (mid September). The 800 and 1500 are expected to be on separate days.

:bow: I am glad that you guys might be doing this. Mission Viejo is doing but I can't get to CA in August because I am out of shape.
I like san antonio - great river walk & drinks. I will be at the top of my age group there.
I would prefer to wait till I'm the new kid on the block in 3 years!
where in san antonio will the meet be?
From their bid:
Northside Independent School District Aquatic Center
Our proposed venue, its National Aquatics Center and Natatorium, is a world-class facility located in San
Antonio, one of the nation’s premier tourist destinations. Located just minutes from the beautiful Texas
Hill Country, Six Flags Fiesta Texas and the Shops at La Cantera, the Center is a short drive from the San
Antonio International Airport and some of the finest hotels and resorts in the region. Championship
participants will find a wide variety of restaurants and hotel properties near the facilities.
so the city has been picked but the venue is still up in the air ? it looks like northside is an outdoor pool. i could not find the "national aquatics center and natatorium"

The outdoor 50m pool can accommodate 18-20 lanes for competition (two courses) while an additional outdoor pool (diving well) could accommodate 10 lanes (13-17 feet depth). The indoor pool can be setup to have two 8 lane course plus 6 warm up lanes. Finally, there is another outdoor teach pool with 3 25y lanes. Total available lanes is ~57 (22 + 22 + 10 + 3). We'll either have more than two courses available for the meet or we'll have a ton of warm up space (a rarity for masters nationals).
