Are you coming to the 2004 Short Course Nationals in Indianapolis?
I will race there.
Also, on the Olympic front the first bang will be this month from the Australian Olympic Trials.
(The U.S. Olympic Trials are this year three weeks before the Olympics because the NCAA coaches who voted for this date are selfish about preserving the NCAA first;
a better timing is in the case of the Australian Trials, held five months before the Olympics.)
Thorpe entered 200, 400 and 100 free.
I wish that Klim would have been healthier and more competitive the past two years, so that he can make the Australian Team and peak in the Olympics.
I'd almost think "splitting the difference" would be a good approach. Have Trials about three months before the Olympics. This would be a similar time frame as many swimmers are already used to. Many teams at least partially rest for a meet around mid-December, such as U.S. Open, then taper fully for their conference meet or some other big meet in early to mid-March.
