Why go to Nationals..?

... if you are not going to beat anybody? I pretty much want to go. I am close to NQTs in a few events (I know I can swim some events even if I don't make time). But looking at past results, swimming the QT typically puts you in the lower 1/4. Looking at the schedule, I'd end up swimming the slow heats of one event, 2 if I make time, a day. Is the overall experience worth the cost of the trip? (I did lurk in all last year's Nationals threads, but I'd like to hear it all again. :) )

  • I just wanted to say that the online registration for Nationals was one of the best laid-out and easiest to use online forms ever. Super that all my member info was auto-filled and all the options were right there and easy to understand. See you in Mesa. Have fun! When you find out how great it is, we'll plan on seeing you in Greensboro next year.
