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.

    Anyone know whether the walls will have tall FINA pads or have gutters? As I recall there was not a gutter at the blocks... but it has been a while since I was there. I did find this bit here: "The 50-meter competition pool features eight, 9-foot-wide lanes with water depths ranging from 9 to 10.5 feet. Gutters surrounding the pool were engineered to minimize turbulence, while bulkheads featuring a flow-through design reduce wave rebound on turns." This pool has a reputation for being very fast... you should get some very good times. I went to a SCY Invitational there in 2005. It was my worst meet ever in terms of points, but I had the most enjoyable time there of any meet I've ever been to. It was very exciting to be among so many good swimmers, and I had a great time with my teammates. :)
