No q-times for Nationals, but it is only 2 hours away and Illinois Masters are a fun bunch.
Kids meets usually are about 2 per month. My two kids are at two different levels, so I end up going different directions, A+ for the older, more developmental for the younger, makes for lots of travel. We just got done with championship season, Jr District for the little one, Districts and States for the older, I am glad it is time to rest!
I usually swim at lunch when they are in school and on Sundays when the Seniors share the pool with the lap swimmers(which make the lap swimmers mad, tough). Then I am only making one trip in town to go to a pool!
When I started 4 years ago, I could only swim a 25 across without stopping. I managed to get my work-outs up to 4000 yards early January before getting slammed with work and kids stuff and having to back off. Now trying to hold at 3000-3500 before Nationals. Nationals will be interesting, I am sure I will be dead last, but if I manage to swim a best time and legally I will be happy. Doing 100 ***, 50 fly and 200 IM.
