Hi All,
I'm Phil from Stalybridge swimming club in England and I watch with great interest US Masters swimming,mainly because in general you guys are the best in the world and set some amazing times at all age groups.I very nearly entered this event but at the last minute I decided against.It would have been nice to meet some of you superstars and pick up a few tips.The event sounds a bit too big for its own good and as there are many opportunities for swimmers to compete regularly in their own country I think a qualifying time that has to be verified would be the best solution.Masters swimming seems to be getting bigger and faster each year so the original concept of encouraging all ages and standards to participate should be relaxed for an event that only occurs every two years.Although the conditions sound difficult I hope you will enjoy your vist to Europe and go back home with some fast times and good memories.
Good luck with the rest of the meet.
Phil
