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!
this is really cool, but do you hold it before thanksgiving or after (because after makes training through thanksgiving tough) and then there is taking work vacation on top of holiday vacation at basically the same time. good luck explaining that to the family. lol.
still really like the idea. like a North America championships, but without the long pool, however how many scm pools are there in the usa that could handle a big meet? it might have to be in the middle/end of a 50m pool and a bulkhead.
