Hi, i'm new to USMS and have been swimming 2-3 time per week for about 4 weeks. Usually doing between 3500 and 5Km. I just signed up for my first meet since high school. I'll be swimming in the Gil Young Memorial/Northwest Zone LCM Meet. I would love some pionters or any advice anyone has. I'm excited, but also a bit nervous. I'll be swimming the following events:
50Br
200Fr
100Br
50Fl
and maybe the 800Fr (this is the last event of the day and I'm not sure if i'll have enough left to do this one) :)
Good idea! I have about six of those in my garage ;)
Question for those going to this meet... Will there be space on the deck or close by for my wife to record my events? Is that allowed?
Yes to all those questions. Mount Hood Community College's LCM pool is outdoors with a large spectator area. They hosted 2008 LCM Nationals with hundreds of swimmers with no problem. Swimphone says there are 97 swimmers registered; once you add in probably a few more who registered via snail mail, you're still only talking about maybe 110 swimmers. There will be tons of room around the pooldeck. If it's raining then maybe it'll be an issue but probably not - 2009 LCM Zones were there, it rained, and there was plenty of cover so it was no problem.
There's also an indoor 6-lane 25-yard pool for warmup/warmdown. And a hot tub near the indoor pool. :D
