Argh, everyone always says that! It is NOT the National SCM championships. And I assure you there will be some fast swimming on the east coast as well. Yes, LB may be the biggest meet, but not the fastest across the board. :-P And I'm definitely not crazy about that order of events, though at least you have 3 days to spread it out.
That said, good luck to all!
I'm sure everyone will be wearing their tech suits.
Right Fort... it isn't the national championships.
But we since we (USMS) do not see fit to host a SCM Nationals, it seems that Long Beach is the largest representation of such a meet in the USA.
This subject has been discussed already and just perhaps not resolved.
The Grunions do an amazing job with this event.
But every year the threat of facility shutdown creates talk of "what about and where next year?"
I think it would be GREAT for another venue anywhere to host the SCM Championship event.
Hype it up and get the numbers like Long Beach does each year!
Any meet director will tell you its tough going though at this time of year.
Long Beach gets numbers!
Personally, I do not get why we (USMS) continue to insist on holding the SCY Nationals as the premier event each year.
No one in the world gets SC Yard times except for Americans.
I was just watching a race clip from Clovis where the race announcer screamed, "A NEW World Record! Oh I mean, new National Record"...
SHEEZ!!
Probably not in my lifetime, but I hope some day the powers that be will see the light and switch it.
National Spring Championship meet - short course meters - just like the rest of the world.
The training for SCM & SCY is no different and it certainly could be done.
Perhaps allowing extra pool time at warmup or the day before the meet starts so athletes can familiarize themselves with the pool.
SO READERS - if you are not going to Long Beach...
WHERE are you swimming SCM fast times?
For now we race virtually - USMS & FINA TOP TEN BABY!
