I can&amp;#39;t seem to put my head around how big of a meet it is.

we just had our swedish nationals.  4 sessions friday afternoon through sunday morning.  34 events including 6 relays (2 of which are mixed).  so only 14 individual events for each sex.

we had 563 swimmers (not including relays only swimmers) and 2143 starts.  the US nationals looks like it will have almost as many people as we had starts...  WOW

but we did have two WRs. SCM

Lars Frölander 35-39 50m fly 23.72  (that was an amazing race to see live)
