Just one other word about the December time frame. I don't know how many educators are master swimmers, but I'm betting there are quite a few. If their systems are anything like mine a meet held in the middle of December would be impossible to attend as employees are not allowed to take personal leave before a scheduled holiday. The week after Christmas would probably be perfect for educators as most have not returned to work then. Of course there will never be a 'perfect' time for every masters swimmer.
