Every now and then I have been asked about dates for future USMS Nationals. Here are the dates for the meets currently on the calendar:
May 1-4, 2014 Spring Nationals: Santa Clara, CA
August 13-17, 2014 Summer Nationals: University of Maryland College Park
April 23-26, 2015 Spring Nationals: San Antonio, TX
August 6-9, 2015 Summer Nationals: SPIRE Institute, Ohio
Hosts for 2016 will be solicited and awarded next year.

# pools? I have never seen that. It must run the meet really fast.
What do you do with odd heat numbers, start them 1st. so that you can end up with 3 pools in the last running?
They wouldn't be running 3 courses of the same event at the same time. They would likely have two courses of the same event in one 50m pool while having one course of a different event in another pool. For instance, two courses of the men's 500 free outside with one course of the women's 400 IM inside. I hope that clarify things.
