2024 Spring Nationals Order of Events (distance)

094GT

I get doing 5 days instead of 4 as this will probably be a very big meet but does it bother anyone distance swimmer that the distance events are on Monday? Personally I think this this is a big middle finger to the distance swimmers. At least on the first day we have a much better chance finding counters. Also, I would much rather start my meet with a distance event than end it. Jsut my two cents.

  • I am not too much bothered by it (I am a guy who dabbles in the 1000/1650 at Nationals).  What bugs me more is that splitting out the men's and women's 500 (which I also agree with) has put the men's 500 on the same day as the 200 FR.  There are 4 days on which to schedule every event other than the 1000/1650.  How come the 200 FR couldn't be placed on one of the two days where the 500 was *not* being contested?  I just think putting the 200/500 on the same day is akin to putting the 50/100 or 100/200 (or 500/1650) on the same day.  Too much overlap in swimmers who contest both events for them to ever be put on the same day!
