The national qualifying times for the 2019 U.S. Masters Swimming Spring National Championship have been released. The meet will be held April 25-28 in Mesa, Ariz. More info about the meet, such as hotels, can be found on our meet info page. (Please read this info about the national qualifying times.)
TBH, it's really generous for USMS to adopt such a honor system approach to qualifying for Nationals, period. I mean, I understand the desire to be inclusive and use Nats as a gathering of Masters swimmers as much as a championship meet, but it is technically a National meet.
That said, I had been planning on going this year but have had some unexpected expenses so far and so probably will not be spending more money on a swim meet... maybe next year in San Antonio.
You could go to Orange County this summer! :P
I want to be able to swim a nationals at Mission Viejo so bad. Thankfully I don't feel bad missing it this year because it seems like Mission Viejo's number comes up to host nationals every 4-5 years so there will be other chances.
I am actually going to swim at YMCA Masters Nationals in Orlando this spring, and then probably eye Summer Nationals 2020 in VA for my next "national level" meet.
