  • I remember this discussion from an earlier time and one of the problems was that many of the pools that would be used for such an event are college pools and school would be in session during that time. Rutgers has offered up their facility to host the Colonies Zone Championship this and next year, this after putting the kaibosh on USMS meets a few years ago. Perhaps w/o a men's team anymore, they've got some added pool time. :dedhorse: I believe that the "Short Course Championships" in the spring can be either meters or yards. Unfortunately, I think a lot of people would be peeved if they were in Meters, esp since we're not a metric country and there are still LOTS of people who've never (or very infequently) swum in a SCM pool. I grew up with SCM summer league.
