So, my 2017 Summer Nationals performance was OK, but left room for improvement and I'm thinking about planning to start training for 2018 Long Course Summer Nationals.
Oops, there is no USMS Summer Nationals in 2018, in deference to the UANA Pan American Masters Championships.
I cannot find any information about if we can participate, how one qualifies, if we have to join UANA, etc., etc.
I've checked the UANA site, the Orlando YMCA site, USMS site with no luck.
Does anyone have any information about the event and whether those of us who were expecting a USMS Summer Nationals can plan to swim at the UANA Championships?
Thank you, sarahwelch and jimclemmons. I appreciate your input and will try to be patient. The Long Course Nationals are a major event in my annual schedule and I will be anxiously awaiting further information from USMS.
I can understand that UANA is still getting organized and it is a long time until that meet, but I would have expected that if USMS decided not to hold a Summer Nationals in deference to UANA's otherwise nearly concurrent meet, they would also have prepared a statement or policy that explains how that decision affects their expectant USMS national long-course swimmers.Well, I believe the statement you're referring to was generated by USMS as follows:
"The 2018 Summer Nationals will not be contested in favor of supporting the 2018 UANA Pan American Masters Championship in Orlando."
