The entry deadline for short course Nationals in Indianapolis is on April 4th, just two days away. Let's have a contest to guess the total number of swimmers entered. First prize is a 500 fly for time! :banana: Those with any inside information should recuse themselves.
My guess is 1785.
You forgot to subtract the 6 lane, 50 meter warm-up/down pool at IUPUI I also forgot to account for the Coriolis Effect on each swimmer's dive from the blocks. And that cumulative effect will vary based on whether 6th events are in or out, how many of the splashes are in backstroke events, how many swimmers elect to start in the water in forward-start events, and of course Heisenburg's Uncertainty Principle. So my new guess is 1577.803716 + e^pi - pi = 1597.802816. Whew, that was a close one! Thanks Wookiee! :banana:
