Many of the forum regulars seem to be going to Stanford, alas, others of us will not be there. Some of you that are going will access the internet while there, however briefly- why not share?
I have created this thread so you can report on the sights, sounds, swims, sunburns, socials etc. It matters not whether you be 'elite', 'newbie' or whatever, your impressions would be interesting to read. You could comment on great swims, technique, facilities, judging, the announcer, outrageous behavior of other forum participants, complaints, kudos- whatever. If you do, I at least would be grateful and if the thread garners much in the way of postings it could be a valuable archive for people to check for future Worlds. I lay down the guantlet...

Exactly. I saw a few relays go with only three swimmers. They knew they wouldn't be able to complete the race, but wanted to swim anyway.
The relays are ALWAYS a mess at Nationals or Worlds. It's just difficult to get everyone organized no matter how much effort there is ahead of time.
