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.

The only 50 at the Olympics is the 50 free. I doubt she will jsut be swimming one event
I heard Inky is not swimming the 100's in the Olympics and will concentrate on the 50's. Don't know if this is true or not. Just heard it. So if true our girls should really have a good shot at the gold.
Well, I remember way back in 1972 and 1976 that the trials were also close to the olympics. Gary Hall Sr, swam great at the trials but lost both Im races and didn't even medal in them. He did medal in the 200 meter fly. Mark Spitz did good at trials and of course great at the olympics. Anyone that can set 4 indivdual world records must had the best meet possible plus the 3 relays. People are affective differently by close tapers. And of course 1976 was the most successful olympics for the men's team.
