Hey Ande! I wrote a bunch in other threads, but I can't remember which ones... But, I did write something that ended up in the Georgia Masters newsletter, so here it is: First of all, a big THANKS to Ed Saltzman and all the volunteers for making Nationals an enjoyable, FUN experience for this newbie Masters swimmer! I had a blast over these past three days and really appreciate all the hard work that was put in by all of you to make this such a special experience. And, congratulations to all of my fellow forumites who broke records and personal bests! My glass of champagne is next to my computer and I'm now going to toast to you all! Cheers!!! The best part of my experience was meeting swimmers from all over: Ande, Allen Stark, Alison, Anna Lea, Jim, Leslie, STUD (Thanks for the laugh!) , Tracy, Speedo, and Paul. I'm sorry I didn't get to meet everyone. . . . . . . Elaine Krugman I loved meeting you, too Elaine. And all the other forumites. At times I'm still on the post-Nationals "high" and wish I could go to Puerto Rico.

A new team, the Dekalb Aquatics Tiger Sharks, is hosting the meet at the Adamsville Natatorium, at 3201 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. Hey, Wookie, ARE you going? Cool. Good luck.

Me to, but it's not in the budget, unfortunately. So, instead, I'm swimming in an LCM developmental meet, Aug. 1, not to train for Nationals this year, but to start getting ready for Auburn, in 2011! Well, what I mean is... I've never trained or competed in an LCM pool before, so it will be my first chance to see what it's like- and to see if I can survive the 200M breaststroke! :afraid: Where is the Aug 1 meet?

Sorry for the remedial question but I'm not going to be showing up until Friday morning with first event being the 50 *** at noon. How soon should I arrive so that I register properly and can change and warm up? I actually have to check in to the hotel and take the shuttle over (as well).Thanks. Get there as early as you can! That way you have time to check things out around the pool - take care of business - check in with FORT & her gang.... and then get ready to swim. If you're going to Atlanta for Nationals - get to the pool and enjoy it! Its far more than a competition, its a swimming social. And that's one of the reasons so many of us continue to swim outside of anything else to stay fit. See you on deck!

From USMS Masters Swimming Rule Book (2009) Page 1 and 2 (located on this forum) "ARTICLE 101: Starts , Strokes And Relays 101.1 STARTS" "101.1.2 Backstroke Start A Starting commands— At the commencement of each heat, the referee shall signal to the swimmers by a short series of whistles to remove all clothing except for swimwear. At the referee’s first long whistle, the swimmers shall immediately enter the water and at the second long whistle shall return without undue delay to the starting position. B All courses— The swimmers shall line up in the water facing the starting end with both hands placed on the gutter or on the starting grips. Standing in or on the gutter, placing the toes above the lip of the gutter or bending the toes over the lip of the gutter before or after the start is prohibited."

Could someone please refresh my memory about the whistle commands for getting up on the blocks (and when you should jump in the water for backstroke). I've drawn a blank. :confused: beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep: next heat behind the blocks/previous heat clear the pool beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep: next heat get on the blocks or into the water take your mark: self explanatory bzzzzzzt: GO!

Never heard of it, is it the USA? Does anyone of any swimming merit swim there? Who runs this shady operation? Paul... Wolf?

I didn't think you travelled to states without a Bojangles'. Geek doesn't travel to states that have running water, indoor plumbing or electricity. That is why he lives in north carolina.
