I just entered right before the deadline!!!! I dislike racing long course but I'm looking forward to visiting my daughter and getting some Pan Am Swim shirts and caps. I think this will be fun!
Something to remember, at least in a USAS meet, you can be DQ'd for a false start because you are moving when you are supposed to be still. You could still enter the water last & yet be considered to have "started" towards the water because your arms (or something) were still moving, or did not stop completely moving, prior to the beep.
I'm pretty sure I wasn't moving around either. I think they got the wrong heat number somewhere along the way. They did notify Melanie when she dove in early but did not notify me after my race. I think I may start practicing starts a bit more when our team does them. It serves me right to get deeked either way since I just do another set in the water any time our team works on starts.
Folks,
From organizers e-mail, registration closed for the pan-american with nearly 1700 participants (swimming, synchr, and open water).
It is going to be a really big event...
For some reason, Jim posted this in the 2013 Summer Nationals thread. I think this is interesting!
794 USMS members are entered in the Pan-Ams meet. The demographics from all FINA federations are attached.
7546
I am really looking forward to this! A bunch of swimmers are coming from South and Central America, including 258 from Venezuela, 94 from Brazil, and 72 from Mexico. But that's not all! There are ... listen to this ... 20 from Russia, 16 from the Czech Republic, 11 from Ukraine, 3 from Rwanda, and 1 from Kazakhstan! How cool is that?
Where can I get a bunch of little USA pins for cheap?

What are the rules about which countries can participate?

I just ordered a ridiculous number of little American flag lapel pins for 25 cents each. If they arrive on time (there is some question about that and I am pressing the vendor), we can hand them out like candy at the meet. What fun! Come get some from me.
Edit: Vendor says for sure they will be here on time.

Judd, that is great! Do you want us to chip in to help pay for them?
