Why aren't we seeing questions and discussions about the World FINA championship problem? The issue is apparently that Sweden was the only nation to volunteer to host the 2010 world championships - but Gothenburg Sweden does not have a site with two 50 meter pools in the same location. So the meet will be apparently be conducted in two separate pools in different parts of the city. Our and probably many other teams will be impacted by separating male and female swimming events. It's not only team cohesiveness and support, but the important role of our coach that's affected. He can't be in two places at once. Our team from Reston was planning to have a good turnout - but now those plans are cancelled.
I hope to contact USMS officials to see if any other options are possible - even startiing early in the morning and ending late at night.
If anyone has further info or insights we'd welcome hearing them, because my wife and I had looked forward to this opportunity.
:confused:
