OK, Forumites, today's the last day to sign up for Nationals at Auburn. This isn't much of a game, but it's a forum tradition. So, how many swimmers will be signed up to swim at Auburn? Winner gets a round of :applaud: and a :wine: . Hey, if you find me at Nationals and introduce yourself as the winner, I'll even buy you a :chug: on Saturday, after the conclusion of the meet! :D
Good luck!
:cheerleader:
I'll start it off with: 888
When I heard the meet was at Auburn I was very excited to swim in such a fast pool.I suspected the attendance would be high.Then I found out that there was no close airport so I was a little worried about attendance,I am still surprised at under 700 though.
A couple of years ago people were complaining about not enough Nats on the East Coast.To you Easterner's,why aren't more of you coming(the Maryland meet in 2000 was the best attended Nats of all.)
I agree with Allen. I was surprised that attendance was so low given that Auburn is a fast pool. I know there's not a direct flight, but it's a fairly reasonable drive from Atlanta. And the hotels are less expensive. I can see why the CA swimmers may just want to attend the SPMA meet. But I was somewhat disappointed that more east coast swimmers didn't show. (Though it's not exactly on the east coast and there is a time change.) I will be there and am sure it will be fun. :) I'm especially glad there's plenty of room to warm up and warm down.
