I'm shopping for a "last chance" meet for the 2012 SCY season. It should be,
After SCY nats, but before the end of the SCY season. That pretty much means one of the four weekends in May, either May 7-8, May 14-15, May 21-22, or May 28-29.
A well-run, larger meet, with plenty of rest between events, in an excellent, indoor (backstroke-friendly) pool.
Somewhere in the US (of course, SCY = US), but it does not necessarily have to be in the continental US. If there's an excellent meet in Alaska or Hawaii, it could be considered.
In a nice, vacation-worthy destination. And that does not necessarily rule out Texas! We are openminded! There are interesting things to see almost everywhere, even in Texas!
This is the first time I'm looking outside my immediate neighborhood, so I'm not at all familiar with the excellent meets outside of my zone. I am sure they are there, I'm just unaware.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
... I like the idea you have of getting outside your normal neighborhood ... Maybe one day I'll be in your area. :)
I did a bit of that this year, going to the excellent Albatross meet in Bethesda, and the excellent Bridge the Bay meet in Sarasota. I got schooled by some truly outstanding swimmers, including forumites Fort and Matyskej, and nearly lost a 400 IM to the shockingly fast, 60 year old, Shirley Loftus-Charley. Good times!
If you're ever in the neighborhood, you're more than welcome to teach me a thing or two!
