So, now that we are on the countdown to May 09 - who is coming and what do you plan to swim?
This will be my first US Master's National meet, and it happens to be happening in my back yard (at least very close to where I grew up and swam USA club). Over is San Luis Obispo now, but it's a short hop, skip, and jump over the foothills to Clovis!
I think I would divide it out like this:
East coast
Ft Lauderdale 1998 LC
Baltimore 2000 LC
Rutgers 2003 LC
Savannah 2004 LC
Ft Lauderdale 2005 SC
Coral Springs 2006 SC
Central
Indianapolis 1998 SC
Minneapolis 1999 LC
Indianaplois 2000 SC
Cleveland 20002 LC
Indianapolis 2004 SC
The Woodlands 2007 LC
Austin TX 2008 SC
West Coast
Santa Clara 1999 SC
Santa Clara 2001 SC
Hawaii 2002 SC
Federal Way 2001 LC
Tempe 2003 SC
Mission Viejo 2005 Lc
Federal Way 2007 SC
Mt Hood 2008 LC
The northeast is vastly under-represented, but then again, I can't think of a single pool around here that would even be a viable option. :( Of course I live in a state with no 50 meter pools at all. They just had a local age group championship meet in Canada.
Brown University hosted LCM way back, mid 80s maybe.
How are things in Maine these days? I lived in Old Town for a while in the early 80's, swam at UMO. Biggest pool in the area then, is it still?
