2009 USMS Short Course National Championships

Just received: Dear U.S. Masters Swimming membership, In response to concerns regarding the swine flu, I would like to confirm to you that we are in full operation mode to host the 2009 U.S. Masters Swimming Short Course National Championship next weekend. We are monitoring federal and state authorities guidelines, warnings and protocol. In the event the authorities mandate or strongly recommend the cancellation of outdoor sporting events, we will follow suit and cancel the championship event. If authorities do not mandate the cancellation of outdoor sporting events, we will host the championship event as planned. Should the event be canceled because of federal or state mandate, we will advise accordingly. Thank you, and see you next week, Rob Butcher Executive Director Everyone should have just received that. Sadly, many people will ignore the first and second to last sentences and continue to speculate about Nationals being shut down.
