SR Question: LCM meets in MA, VA, PA, NJ, NY area?
Former Member
For all you Middle-Atlantic states swimmers out there, I'm looking for some LCM meets at decent pools indoors or out, between now and July 1, within a 4-6 hour drive of Philadelphia. Travel time by car, would not object to an overnight stay.
Please help! My team trains LCM all year long, but there is only one LCM meet in the Phila area, and that meet is a mess. They have kids of all ages entered, they have all the 50, 100 & 200 events grouped together, and the blocks stink (circa 1970, narrow plastic mounds).
We have a great team policy which pays for swimmers to go to LCM Nationals, but only if we have qualifying times (no conversion times). Our pool is not regulation length (it's too long) and the conditions are not good for doing time trials (water temp is in the mid 80s, among other things:dedhorse: ).
I was thisclose to qualifying at last year's LCM zones at George Mason, with a serious back injury that limited my training. I've been swimming great at recent meets (swam 4 SCY NQTs at last meet:groovy: ) and would like to see if I can make it happen in LCM. I love the GMU facility, but zones are after nats, so that won't work for this year.
Does anyone out there have local meet info, or websites? The "dirt" on the pools would be great too.
Thanks:wave: ,
