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?
For myself, I go to compete, to swim. If it happens to be in an area to consider "sightseeing", then I consider it but the main purpose of attending is swimming, where ever the event is held.
At least when it was held in Hawaii, some USMS members could drive to the meet. If held in PR, I don't believe any USMS (maybe a couple or few "dual reg" type) members can drive - even from south Florida.
