Just curious to see how many folks have a USMS SCY meet within 200 miles of where they live in the next four months. Not one for me until February 13. Fortunately, there is one SCM during this time period about 130 miles away.
How far are you from Pensacola? There is a 1 day short course meet there in Nov.
I am going to Orlando this weekend. Probably the scm meet in atlanta in dec, and trying to find one in Nov.
I'm about 300 miles from Pensacola. Wish a team in Birmingham, Montgomery, Huntsville, or Chattanooga (your neck of the woods, wookiee) would put on a meet. I'd almost be tempted to put one on at our Y, but we don't have blocks or even stop watches for that matter.
Good luck at your meet this weekend!
In the Pacific Masters LMSC, depending on where you live there are up to four SCY meets in the next 4 months within 200 miles, plus our SCM championships and some neat postal events.
We have several, but that's because most of the pools around here are old YMCA 25-yard pools.

We don't have a single 50-meter pool in the entire state. :bitching:

That is a travesty of justice to have no 50 meter pools in a state.
We have plenty of yards meets in our area but most of them do the sprint schedule which involves no 200 fly, 400 IM, or 1000/1650 free. Thus, I have to do more Age group meets and do meets in neighboring LMSCs. Also, we only have local SCM meet a year and that in January. SCM season is over in December.
I have exactly one (that's "1") USMS meet of any description within 200 miles in the next year. That's a typical year for me. The other plausibly accessible USMS meets are 300 or more miles away. I plan to drive the 300 miles to Atlanta at least three and possibly four times in the next 8 months or so.
That said, I can appreciate the difficulty of organizing a USMS meet in an area which does not have a large population of masters swimmers. It would be a lot of work for an uncertain return.

Living in AR, I'm only aware of one scy meet that occurs in November, and it's in Oklahoma City. There's another scy meet in Little Rock, but I think it occurs in April (outside of the 4 month time-line), and a scm meet in Tulsa in April as well. To do any more short course meets I'd have to swim with the kiddos, and I'm not ready to do that yet.
