There is a proposal pendiing to require Nationals be held "at venues located within the boundaries of USMS." If adopted, it would preclude Puerto Rico's bid.
How do we feel about it?
East Coast bias! East Coast bias!
Hahaha. Yes. And I actually swim better at non-travel meets, for the most part.
Seriously, though, I understand that sometimes Nationals have to be in far flung places. As long as it's spread reasonably evenly in geographic terms, there shouldn't be too many complaints. But, then, unlike some, I don't plan to go to every Nationals every season. If I do, I'd prefer to go to a fun spot.
Since Austin and Portland were very well attended, you'd think that would prompt some more bidders ...
What is the USMS goal for Nationals? As many swimmers as possible? As many top ten swimmers as possible?
