I came form California and I'm overweight. In fact I didn't take up swimming until again until I spent 3 years in Arizona. Now, there was a country club pool I could have swam there but I didn't. In fact in my area in Arizona there are public pools or health club pools as just are ready as there was in California. I think that many people back east are probably are into other sports more like figure Skating, in fact a top figure skater name Sasha Cohen went back there to get better coaching and a better facility. Also, just because Long Island isn't into swimming as much as the Pacific region doesn't mean they don't workout. Also, I enjoy indoor pools, something that both California and Arizona lack. The weather is not always rosy in either states. There are sometimes bad rain storms in California in the January or February period and Monsoon conditions in Arizona in the summer. The New Yorkers are a little wiser to built the indoor pools, in Tempe we had rain problems and the 800 was delayed until the next day and the 200 IM relays got cancel. Now back east and in the mid-west where pools are mainly indoors they could have continue on with the meet.

Hey Rain man,
I've been to San Diego. Great place. I think the 2003 USAS convention will held there again, and I intend on going.
Don't want to malign the place because of Silly Ion's gibberish.
New York is great. San Diego is great. To get back to the topic, consider that there are lots of good people in both, whether they work out and stay in shape or not. Who are we to judge them - we've got an obsession with swimming that would make us suspect in their eyes.
But,
> San Diego has
> Ion
and, based on his posts, that's the only thing I can think of that might detract from it.
Enough of this nonsense, I've gotta run a marathon in the morning.
