I wanted to start a thread for people to post links to some of the better meets they have info on. Looking for fast pools, good competition and whenever possible great locales (Hawaii?). Here's one that I try to make every year if possible....great tune up before nationals!
Arizona State Meet March 30-April 1

Our own state meet at Denver University April 13-15 has all the requirements: Great pool, fast swimmers, fun town.....problem is all you wussies out there who are afraid to come swim at 5280'!
Not high enough. I think you should move the meet to Leadville for a real challenge!

I will freely admit to being a wuss in Denver. Growing up I'd go to Denver for 4-6 weeks in mid July which was right after summer league ended here. One day at practice out there made my head spin, forget that! And, the pool water in the summer in Denver is freezing.

Wanna pay my expenses? I'll come. Altitude will not make much difference to me.
Any meet at the IUPUI pool is awesome. That pool is fast everyday.
Miami of Ohio's, Eastern Michigan University, Nashville (TN) Sportsplex... to name a few.
Allen:
yup, Federal Way has been VERRRY kind to me & I'm looking forward to more swims there in May. See you then at the breaststroke corner. I've heard that Jane & Hugh are going to hire some guards to protect us breaststrokers from the other people who only think they know what swimming is all about!
Paul:
how's the knee recovery coming? Missed you last weekend at DU but hope you'll make it for the state meet. I think I'll pass on Tucson in the summer. Grace & I are planning on swimming in Houston & that may be the only LC meet for us this year. Meanwhile, we're training with a nice bottle of 1991 Dunn Howell Mountain Cabernet....

I swam in another fast pool last week in Bend OR, with Bob Bruce's master's group. The renovated Juniper Swim & Fitness Center appears to be a fast pool and COMA is hosting their LMSC meet in April. If it had been earlier, I would have stayed to swim. I swam in this pool before the changes and I like what they have done.
Instead of Bend, I'm choosing to make myself miserable at 5280 in Denver.

Muppet (or anyone else who may know)-
Why are CZ LCM zones scheduled after Nationals? This is the second year in a row (that I'm aware).
The real reason I ask is that this makes my coach nuts (he's "quirky"), which in turn, makes the rest of the team nuts because he just won't stop :blah: :blah: about the timing. I would love to give him a reason; although, he would likely just :blah: about that too.

There is a lot of moving parts... I'll PM you
:eek:
haaha looking at you...your like a meet salesman:thhbbb: I'm gonna try to come down for one or the other...its a long drive for both for me...and I better swim fast...since its a "world-class facility" and all..
Morgan, I'll be there for both of those meets so maybe we can meet. I agree with Jeff that it's a great pool.

Obviously the meet was set with an eye to Fort's availability...
Muppet PM'd me with the moving parts, and I can assure you, Peter, that youare ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! The complex formula breaks down to--this is when Fort said she would be ready to kick *** (censored).:thhbbb:
