  • As long as it wouldn't siphon resources away from the SCY and LCM national meets, I would say go ahead and do it. We do seem to get along fine without a SCM national meet, though. Or instead of a third USMS national meet, maybe try something different: maybe coordinate with Canadian Masters to have a bi-yearly North American championship meet in SCM? Have it in the fall at a time that doesn't interfere with thanksgiving or Christmas, and have it in even years so it meshes nicely with pan ams. Also include Mexican Masters...I'm assuming Mexico has a masters swimming body? Just a thought...I have no idea how these things are actually put together!
