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!
Hahaha!
I get that it's a big fast meet. But you CA types sometimes forget that swimming occurs in other parts of the country. Now, to be sure, SCM meets rarely occur in this part of the country, and unfortunately we are at a severe disadvantage in that respect. In PV (one of the largest LMSCs) this fall, there are ZERO SCM meets. There was some thought to having a one day SCM meet over Thanksgiving weekend. Nope, it was changed to yards.
Totally agree -- I would love to see our Nationals Champs be in SCM instead of SCY. I had no sentimental attachment to SCY, just as I have no sentimental attachment to the old suits.
I'll be swimming at the NE Champs in Boston in mid Dec. in a 2 day format. I understand Chris Stevenson and Mike Ross will also be there. I'm betting no one goes faster than them at Long Beach. :-P :-P Well, maybe ehoch in free, but it'll be close!
