The date came directly from Coach Mark Rankin, the only thing they are missing is a sanction number. They should have that shortly as well as a link for the meet sign-up. From what Coach Mark said, they are fine with their facility for "a while" so they should be fine. What the long-term holds for the team and facility is an open question but they have weathered a lot over the last ten years so I expect Brophy/Phoenix Swim Club to remain.
I will echo that, the pool is fantastic and the facility is a great place for a meet. It is surrounded by grass and trees, making it tolerable even in the middle of the summer. The water is clear and clean too, great place to swim.
I was there on Sunday and the locker room (men's that is) still suck. That is one aspect of that facility that baffles me, great location, great pool, great surroundings, great team heritage, awful locker rooms...
The point is, this would be a great training meet for Fresno. Especially for you East Coast/Central folks since you will get used to swimming outside in the sun on Pacific Time. See you there?
You guys in Arizona swim at some nice facilities. Two training pools and everything and at multiple locations.
