i'm coming to usa next tuesday from uk...i'll be doing a fly drive...getting to see Memphis ,Atlanta areas...any good places you know for swimming?or where i can buy some barracudas goggles to save on the shipping!!!!!!
I would suggest you check with Edward.Saltzman@BELLSOUTH.COM who swims at the Dynamo facility or SeanFitzgerald@mindspring.com who swims at Georgia Tech (the 1996 Olympic pool).
Next week many of us will be heading to Savannah for nationals, so there may be a few empty lanes.
Maybe do a google search for the cities you'll be in and then restrict it to places that sell swim stuff?
It would give you phone numbers to call once you're in the states (and in the city) to find out where they are located and how to get to them.
Sorry--not much more help than that. I'm not even sure where to find Barracudas here in Pittsburgh so I order them from the manufacturer OR some other company (depends on price and shipping costs!)
Did a search and tracked down a few places that might have them. One--believe it or not--but it is usually for those with a prescription is:

They say free shipping to the UK (as that's where they are)
Prices, for RXed goggles, start at 82 pounds. No idea of what that translates to in american $
Maybe you could try there on Sunday or Monday?
Dicks, Models,Sports Authority do not appear to sell them. Maybe hit the phone book in the hotel room and look up "sporting goods" or "swimming equipment".
I'm not sure if Kast-a-ways has a walk in store in either city you'll be in--I know they have on in Cincinnati (or did).
dont want to show up any long course dudes so i'll stay in cognito thanx ne way...just knocked off 1 and half minutes off my 1500m times after loads of training...maybe next time
humm wonder how long it would take to have them delivered to a US address in your last stop. I E (Put them on your credit card today and have them shipped to Rob in Peachtree City, that's just a little bit south of Atlanta)
