Attendance at 2013 LCM nationals

Most season there is a running guess on attendance at Nationals ? With the success of PanAm and location of LCM on the west coast, I'm guess for a lower turnout - 899. What is your guess and are you attending ! Anthony Thompson MOVY Masters
  • Maybe someone can help with this. I understand parking will be awful, and that the sensible course is to park at a hotel and ride the shuttle. For that reason, I bought the shuttle pass when I registered. So, here's my question: if I get my shuttle pass when I sign in at the pool, how do I ride the shuttle to the pool on my first day?

I have to imagine the shuttle drivers will be reasonable people and would understand your situation when you explain it to them on the first day.
  • I did not register for the shuttle - I didn't expect 1404 (I don't think anybody did) - is there anyway to register now (online) or when I get to the hotel or meet?

Take the shuttle from your hotel to the meet and tell the driver you need to pick up your shuttle pass at the aquatic center. When you register you will be able to purchase a shuttle pass.
  • After looking at the psych sheets - I would have been in the top 10 in my 5 events. I really need to get rid of back problems before next season.
  • Another parking question: My 85 year old mom and sister want to come see me swim. They will be driving in from Long Beach, so where should I tell them to park? Although my mom is not disabled, I would like to spare her a long walk. Is it even feasible to have spectators? Attached is a layout of the Aquatic Center. Have your sister drop your mother off just past the shuttle stop. From Marguerite Parkway, turn onto Casta Del Sol then right into the parking lot then right to the end of the loop. Have her wait at a designated place and go park your car somewhere on a street. Then our sister can walk back and meet your mother.

  • Heat Sheets are now available for the 50s and 100s: www.usms.org/.../ The estimated timeline is now available: www.usms.org/.../timeline.pdf With many events being deck seeded, this timeline is based on historical scratch data. Therefore it is only to be used as a general guide. Swimmers may follow the live video streaming, Real Time results and/or Meet Mobile to keep track of the actual running of the meet (edit: or of course be there at the pool watching and cheering! My original comment was meant to address the 1500 session for those who want to better predict when they might be swimming). The final entry count is 1393 swimmers. Thank you to Barry Fasbender and Jim Matysek for working on the seeding, heat sheets and timeline. Jeff
