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.

He has so many records, I can't think that he would now do a fluter kick!
I would think it would be more likely a "non-simultaneous" kick than a flutter kick. My feet have a tendency to drift apart a little on fly sometimes, too. Not being in the same plane is OK, but it's grounds for a DQ if there's an alternating between the feet.
I breathe on my side as other much better flyers than me do, but my lagging right arm might bring attention to me more than faster flyers.
Yes, a lagging arm can definitely get you disqualified. The rules state that both arms must be brought forward simultaneously over the water.
