SPMA Zones bigger than Nationals?

I've not done any analysis to see if left coasters & westerners were disproportionately under-represented on the Auburn psych sheets, but wondering if the SPMA/Southwest Zone meet (www.clubassistant.com/.../meet_information.cfm might garner a bigger turnout than Nationals? Who's going to Mission Viejo?

  • One question I had as I was leaving: There was a guy who wore a women's (torso coverage) suit during the 200IM. I overhead he was trying to "make a statement," but I am not sure the right people noticed. A guy pulled this in the Davis Meet too. The only reason I knew was because the guy swimming in the lane next to him later described it to us. In this case it was a full length legs suit. He said he was really surprised it was done and regrettably, allowed it to distract him during the race. Also saw it done at The Trans-Tahoe, but that is an honor system race...
