USMS is also continuing to prepare for the 2020 FINIS College Club Swimming National Championship in North Carolina, working closely with the meet host and the Greensboro Aquatic Center. Update We regret to announce that the 2020 FINIS College Club Swimming National Championship has been cancelled. The decision was made jointly between U.S. Masters Swimming, College Club Swimming, and University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill Club Swimming because of concerns regarding COVID-19. The University of North Carolina has mandated that university-affiliated events with more than 50 people both on- and off-campus be cancelled or postponed until further notice. Many other colleges and universities have imposed similar restrictions on students and gatherings because of COVID-19 (also known as the coronavirus). “We’re extremely disappointed about having to cancel the meet,” says Rachel Redmond, the meet director and a member of UNC Club Swimming, “but it’s in the best interest of the swimmers, coaches, and their families in attendance in regards to safety.”

Below is the statement previously mentioned in this thread: U.S. Masters Swimming is closely following updates regarding COVID-19 (also called the coronavirus) and will continue to operate as usual, which includes the sanctioning and hosting of events. USMS will abide by the recommendations made by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other health officials to ensure the safety of athletes, coaches, volunteers, fans, and staff at our events. USMS recommends that all clubs, workout groups, and event directors refer to the CDC and other local health officials for updates on COVID-19 in their area, and also recommends that all clubs, workout groups, and event directors promote prevention best practices and consider taking additional measures, including having hand sanitizer readily available and performing extra disinfection of areas of possible transmission (e.g., restrooms, showers, doors). In order to best support our members at this time, USMS encourages event directors to have flexible refund policies. USMS encourages all swimmers to adhere to best health practices and follow local health officials for updates, and discourages swimmers or fans who are sick from attending workouts or events. We’re continuing to move forward with our planning for the 2020 USMS Spring National Championship in San Antonio. We’re working closely with our hosts, Northside ISD Aquatics and San Antonio Sports, to ensure a safe and enjoyable event. Participants who do not wish to compete will have until March 30 to request a full refund by contacting events@usmastersswimming.org. (Here is the CDC's guidance for travelers.) USMS is also continuing to prepare for the 2020 FINIS College Club Swimming National Championship in North Carolina, working closely with the meet host and the Greensboro Aquatic Center. We’ll continue to monitor the COVID-19 outbreak diligently and provide updates and information to our members through email communications as they become available. We thank you in advance for taking every precaution to protect yourself and others.

OK Still have time + $10 to make up my mind to swim Nationals this year. Where is my lucky silver dollar coin$

Jim Clemmons — Wed, 26 Feb 2020 12:58:17 GMT

It's not the last week. You still have a month. If you make 2 Q times, I believe, you can swim up to 5 events, the 2 you qualify for and 3 non-qualifiers. Sounds like a full plate to me. Sign up and go swim fast. Yes, Jeff, that's true. Three events "free" plus any that you make the Q time in...up to six events total. March 2 is the discounted deadline ($55) plus event fees; March 23 is the final deadline ($65) plus event fees.

Waves - I an really torn between the chance to win a medal for being in the top 10 and the cost of air fare + room rental + rental car + food.

OK crunch time with this being the last week to sign up for spring nationals. I am not as quick as 2 years back or last year but, can still make 2 Q times, How do I reconcile going if I feel as if I can't make the Q times I should stay home? I know that at the top of my age group I should expect this but, I feel poorly for not being faster = self doubt.

Soooo ---- maybe if I get a new tech suit I can make better Q times??

RE: 2020 Spring Nationals - San Antonio - NQT's

Maybe your suit is getting older.

Is this a sign that I'm getting older? Thanx.

I am now seeing why each age group has slower Q times than , when younger, seemed so easy to get. At the top end of each age I seem to be slowing down faster that I thought I would!! Yes, I find it very frustrating

Now to choose events with the 3 non Q time entry option?!

orca1946 — Thu, 19 Dec 2019 09:49:00 GMT

OK I did not realize that the top ten was overall in the year not just the event. I need to age up in 1 1/2 years to make the next q times. Thanx for the info,

For any meet directors who may be interested, attached to this post is a Meet Manager Time Standard file for the San Antonio NQTs that you may wish to import for your SCY meets this season. I had to Zip the file to be able to post on the Forums - you may have to extract the file from the Zip before importing to MM. Jeff Roddin Championship Committee

Hi Jim. Last year I finished 4th in the 1,650 with a time of 28:07.24 and this year can't even get in Q time of 26:24.65 age 70-74. That is quite a time drop in my bracket. I am trying to get a faster time this year to try to get in.

Q times seem much faster than the average they claim to use to calculate them! I M H O Pretty easy to double check us, Oz...committee members double checked the figures before we published them, so please feel free to verify.
