This meet is going to be really fun! Look at the swimmers we have coming in for the swim clinic - they will be around for the meet as well! I can't wait to see those 2 swimmers of WSJ fame duke it out....
Saturday is the traditional swim meet - it will count for top ten swims and current swimsuit rules will apply. Sunday is the BlueSeventy shootout - a pentathlon with a 100 IM that will be in some order other than the traditional 100 IM order.
By tech suits, that means you can wear any and as many as you want. The strategy is up to you. And you can set a SCY WORLD record!!!
So enter the meet, bring all your tech suits and new suits, and grab a friend or 2 and come on to DALLAS!!
A big round of applause to Bobby Patten, who is the only person in NT who hosts and is meet director of every meet held in NT, except the occasional zone meet. It was a direct In Your Face to Fina and let's-poke-fun at the tech suit controversy. He says he wants me to stack no less than 3 suits. I may have to try that out a few times in practice!
On swimming without a tech suit, i've done 5 meets without them, and i've lived. Went 24.40 and 1:00.87 100 fly in prelim swims only, so the tech suit....really a non-issue. There are many, many other factors that can easily make up the difference (real or perceived) for a masters swimmer.
