2017 short course nationals in Riverside, California
Former Member
Hey guys, enjoying reading the forum here today. I've recently came out of swimming retirement and started training again in the pool. More so just to get back in and stay in shape doing something I enjoy. I'd like to set a goal to qualify for riverside but I cant find the qualifying times needed. I swam for a few months (3) back in 2015 and qualified in a few swims but from what I've read the qualifying standard changes yearly.
Also, as the meet gets closer will they post more info, accommodations, etc.,
Lastly, what can I expect at a nationals meet? Is it laid back and social or super competitive? Definitely looking at the trip as a mini get away and enjoying myself with the wife.
Thanks in advance, looking to get most info I can.

Does anyone know of any public pools in the area with lap swim in the morning or around noon next Wednesday? The Aquatics Complex isn't open until 3pm for warm-up, and that's a bit later than I wanted to do my pre-meet warm-up. I called the city and they said none of their public pools are open until mid-June. Anyone here familiar with the pools in the area?
Your best bet is to get a free pass to 24 Hour Fitness. There are 3 located near the swim venue in San Bernardino, Redlands, and Fontana (south), and all are just off the 10 freeway. All have pace clocks, and the south Fontana location has 2 pools. I’m a member and I use the San Bernardino location. There are other pools in the area but require city residency or a specific employer. If you go this route, bring your own toys (kickboard, pull buoys, among others).
If you need to know about the local brew pubs, I can help with that too...LOL.
