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?
Also many masters swimmers are not rich. To me, flying to PR has to cost double what Florida costs, or oregon, or Indy.For me travel to Fresno next year will cost around $400 and take over 7 hours. Travel to San Juan costs $270 and takes 4 hours.
With that said, I will vote for the site that I believe will put on the best event and be a site that our members would like to visit. Regardless of my personal convenience.
