I received my Jan. issue of Swimmer today and as I glanced through the info on spring nationals I am now confused. On the entry form the mens 500 is on Sunday. In the "check in deadlines" info the mens 500 is on Sat. and the women swim it on Sun.
I think the order has changed since I first printed it off months ago.
Am I reading this wrong and simply confused?
Joel,
You are not confused. There is a mistake in the meet information in the magazine and the check-in deadlines are switched. What is listed on the actual entry form in the magazine (and on the website) is correct: the women's 500 free will be on Saturday and the men's 500 free will be on Sunday. Furthermore if you looked at the order of events on the USMS website a while back you did indeed see things differently. But what is listed now is correct. The Championship Committee apologizes for the confusion.

Thanks for the clarification Jeff. Sometimes it doesn't take much to confuse me.
My mind is going as I continue to age.
