  • Hey! Are you here in INDY? Cause if you were, you probably know - or would have seen that relay day is pretty darn fun - and a lot of swimmers enjoyed it! If relay day were located on the 1st or last day it would not be nearly as well attended as it was today. USA teams took back many World records - and several National records were set as well. I agree with the dilemma over the long distance events. Kind of like the idea of relays attached to a distance event too. But how can you plan a timeline when relay entries can't be submitted until the last minute? A day like that could go until late in the night. But I'm sure various committees would appreciate hearing our constructive suggestions for improving the National Championships if they serve all the membership. Sure is hard to please everyone... Yes, I am in Indy. I think that you can plan it based on teams with large number of participants or average relay participants from previous years maybe. Also, this meet is getting done way before dinner time so I don't think that we have to worry about the meet running late into the night. But, this was a good centalized location to have nationals since Clovis was many light years away for some of us East Coasters.
