I remember, in Indy, I saw swimmers at every resturaunt/bar/club I visted (and I visited many). No, maybe Tempe/Scottsdale/Phoenix area is soooooo large that I am completely wrong here. But I saw almost no other swimmers out enjoying the nightlife the Tempe/Scottsdale area has to offer. Even around the corner, from the pool, the "Library" on 5th was a neat establishment. I don't believe I saw a single swimmer.
Did anyone get to visit Greasewood Flats? How about Dos Gringos in Old Scottsdale. The former was worth the trip to AZ from NY alone.
Just some thoughts.

Hmmm, that makes alot of sense, being worn out from the sun all day. I scheduled my events so that I wouldn't have to spend more than 5 hours at the pool. As I remember, in Indy, the meet was out much earlier (anywheres between 2 and 4pm). It gave swimmers more opportunity to wander out, and see the sights.
So I stand corrected that it was just my imagination. We haven't become obsessed like USS, we're just a little older, a little wiser, and a little tired after a full day 'in de sun'.
Michael, you're right about the beer. Corona tastes especially good in the hot sun. "mmmmm, beer".
Thanks

btw, I don't think I ever looked like a swimmer. Too short 5'10", unless you looked down at my feet, and saw the 'duck walk' common among breastrokers.
