According to the mymsc.ca website, the 2014 Canadian Nationals will be May 16-19 (Friday-Monday) in Windsor, Ontario, at the brand-new Windsor International Aquatic and Training Centre, aka the Family Aquatic Complex. Windsor is about a half hour's drive from the Detroit airport. I've heard the meet is LCM, though I can't verify it.
I also can't verify the event order! Which events on which days? Apparently it's not published yet? Is it known from experience? Does anyone know for sure or have a guess? Thanks.
Registration is limited to 1000 swimmers.
A year or two ago there was a thread about distance events at USMS Nationals. Specifically, somebody commented that swimmers can't enter both the 800/1000 and 1500/1650 at USMS Nationals but they could at Canadian Masters Nationals and it was suggested USMS should be more flexible if Canada can somehow offer the double.
With a 1000 swimmer limit for a short course meet, I can now see why Canada can be more flexible for the distance event sessions. If USMS Short Course Nationals was (were?) limited to 1000 swimmers (and had two courses), we could offer the double as well.
