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.

I would much rather do so at a National meet, than some other meet that would have me swimming 6 events in 3 hours.
That's a very good point jpetyk. But it seems that in most cases, there is only one (maybe two) distance event offered at any local Masters meet. And if someone really wants to get a good time in their distance event, they won't be swimming 5 other events. Seems to me that saving those 5 other events for nationals and swimming the distance event at the local meet would make the most sense.
