  • I think the reason is that there are very few venues that could provide 2 courses of SCM at the same time. The primary pools that my team uses are 50m x 25 yards. They could certainly be configured as SCM, but only 1 course, as they are for our small local team meets. The pools can certainly be configured to have 2 courses of 25 yards at the same time. As Allen previously mentioned, IUPUI in Indianapolis can run two 25 meter courses. The point I was trying to make is that USMS rules allow for the spring nationals to be either SCY or SCM. And if a viable bid was submitted with two SCM courses, I'd hope that the Championship Committee would seriously consider it as an attractive alternative to the same old boring SCY.
