I've read a few threads recently talking about Clovis. Most of it sounds very negative. I would just like to say that I recently swam in a masters meet there and had a wonderful experience. The pools are amazing and the meet organizers know exactly what they are doing. The weather is always warm, there are great restaurants and nice hotels. And if you want to swim fast--as far as I'm concerned, these pools can compete with Indy and Federal Way. If you don't mind driving you have Yosemite 2 1/2 hours away--well worth the drive.
To those complaining, I say "Shut up and swim!"
Ditto that, Blackbeard.
... the only problem with a new swim complex in an irrigated desert is that it gets hot!!!!
Not in May ... if any of you came out to Tempe a few years ago for Nationals, I imagine you should expect the same temperatures ... people seemed to enjoy that meet and swim fast. FYI, if you want hot, come out for the Arizona Masters LCM champs in late July! We'd love the company. Seriously, the weather should be good in early May ... all you pasty easterners can finally work on your tans and see the joy of swimming outside (this coming from a reformed, former pasty easterner who swam indoors until I finally moved to AZ a decade+ ago).
As to nightlife ... who cares ... aren't we at Nationals to swim and swim fast?? If you want nightlife, go to Y nationals and party with the spring break crowd.
