Wondering what some of the unofficial records are at short-course nationals:
Most consecutive meets attended ?
Most meets attended and estimated travel mileage for all those meets ?
Most consecutive wins in an event ?
Most Titles ?
Swimmers winning a "dceade" in an event - meaning winning a race every year in their 40ies, 50 ies or so on ?
Has anybody won every event (over several years of course) - if not who has won the most different events ?
Any other mosts you can think of ... ?

Ted Hartz has attended all but one (maybe two) national championships. Not only does he come and swim in them all, but you will also find him officiating on the deck at nationals.
Graham Johnston is tied for breaking the most FINA Masters World Records. Many of those swims have been at our nationals.
I don't know for certain, but I would bet that Laura Val and Jim McConica have won their events for an entire age group if not for a decade. Rich Abrahams would be in that category too, but he misses nationals occasionally.
Skip Thompson would know the answer to all these questions except for the swim suit one.
