ande
The 2011 USMS Summer LCM Nationals RESULTS Aug 3 - 6, 2011 at Auburn University in Auburn, AL MAP Order of Events Qualifying Times Aquatic Center Hotels Visitors Guide Auburn Masters Swim Team Auburn University Women's & Men's Swimming & Diving ARE you going? What suit are you going to rock in your races? TIPS One of the masters swimmers I train with went to Auburn, this morning I asked him "How do you get to Auburn?" He said fly into Atlanta then drive 2 hours to Auburn. He added if you do this, one thing you want to be aware of is Atlanta is on Eastern Time & Auburn is on Central time so when you drive from: Atlanta to Auburn you subtract an hour & Auburn to Atlanta you add an hour.

  • I may be coming just to watch. Considering I don't have access to a LC pool, it would be a disaster, if I tried to swim. I'll be using the weekend as a little vacation to come and see what LC is all about. Unfortunately my whole team is in the same situation. No access to LCM pool. Wonder if we could come and do the relay anyway??? You guys are the best with all the encouragement!I just swam a LCM meet with absolutely ZERO LCM training. It absolutely can be done and, if you're going to make the trip, you may as well enter some events. A couple of bits of advice if you do go: If at all possible, warm up at the meet in a SCY pool. No need to tire yourself out in warmups. I think you can sufficiently train aerobically in SCY to handle LCM, but the part of my body that gets stressed more in LCM (that I don't think can be mimicked well w/SCY training only) is my core. I'd suggest doing more core dryland work leading up to a LCM meet to help build strength and endurance in that part of your body. Don't swim the 200 fly unless you are a supreme masochist :)
