At 10:00 a.m. CDT this morning tickets for the swimming olympic trials in Omaha, NE went on sale. I just got my "gold" package for all 15 sessions.
I went to Long Beach in '04 and had a fantastic time. One highlight was a daily low key morning workout with masters from all over the country, big group breakfast afterward and then head over to prelims. Anyone know about pool resources in Omaha? It's never too early to line this stuff up.
Omaha is a small enough town that the event (right in the heart of downtown) will have a huge presence. Swimmers, coaches, fans everywhere.
Hope some of you can make it.

The below message is from Erin Sullivan of Omaha, for those going to the Olympic Trials (as spectators):
Hi All,
I have been looking in Omaha for workout time for Masters swimmers during the week of the Olympic Trials. I need some feedback from you. I have found a pool that currently has lanes available from 5:30 am 8:00 am. I thought I would shoot for a 1 hour workout although we could go for 1 ½ hours. I can reserve 5 lanes from 6am 7am (someone already took one of them). We could have all 6 lanes for the first 30 minutes if we start at 5:30am. Also, how many days? I can reserve for 8 days (Sunday June 29th through Sunday, July 6th).
How many folks do you think would show up? How much do you think I should charge? If I charge $5/hour I would have to be guaranteed that 15 swimmers show up so I do not lose any money.
Also, do you think there should be a coach on deck each morning with a pre-determined workout (this definitely makes the most sense to me) like we have at convention?
I am going to continue to check on other options and will let you know. Just wanted some feedback regarding how much interest you really think there is.
Thanks,
Erin Sullivan
