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?
Allen, hate to pop your bubble, but the Pan-Am schedule IS a typical World Championships schedule (seven days in the pool and one day of open water). I agree completely that it is a long time to be somewhere for a swim meet, so I do not plan to be there.
I usually try to attend 1 Nats a year, but SCY is late this year and conflicts with my summer league Swim team duties and LCM if you count travel days in and out would be 8 days to swim five events. Really have no desire to be at a meet for 8 days of which several days I would have no events to swim. Looking at Southern Pacific zones mid August or maybe skip LCM all together this year.
