Hello,
I've heard much discussion in the past about 'fast' pools, especially in Indy. Just curious how all of you would rate the ASU-Mona Plummer pool for Nationals.
Also...did the warm weather/outdoor conditions affect the 'fast' pool posibilities for you?
Thanks.

I didn't care for the starting bar for backstroke starts (seemed to be unusually high up) but in general my personal opinion is the pool is extremely fast. I'm not necessarily a sprinter so this isn't the best example, but I've only broken 22 five times in my life (50 free) and my three best times are at that pool (twice at the 1994 Nationals and once this year).
So I say we have the meet there every year! Mark will be graduating soon so he'll have plenty of time to organize the meet in perpetuity.
