At risk of "beating a dead horse"....at least in respect to broaching this topic again! I had a number of conversations at convention with people who would like to see USMS move to a 3rd Championship meet in the fall for short course meters.
There are some great Zone meets going on...when you have 600+ going to Long Beach or New England why not up the ante a bit?
Thoughts?
I think that is a great idea. Let's call it Zones:rofl:
In spite of that Jeff and although its a small sampling....1300+ views, 46 responses and 67% in favor of it.
Sure its a lot of work, sure there is risk...little to USMS...but ultimately I believe that the majority of competitive swimmers want an opportunity to compete in a national championship in each of the 3 courses we offer here in the US (no sacrificing of SCY).
Not sure what will happen but there is interest and I think we should continue to pursue this. What I'd like is if anyone knows the directors of the larger zone meets that they be contacted and see what their interest would be in bidding on being the host of a SCM Nationals.
