Just announced today!
Eager for a chance to swim LCM before nationals? Want to swim in an excellent, state-of-the-art indoor NCAA Division I competition pool? Want a pretty full program of events and a generous two day schedule? Come to the GKMS LCM Summer Splash Last Chance Meet at the outstanding Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatic Center (pic, pic) at the University of Tennessee!
2011 GKMS LCM Summer Splash Last Chance Meet
KNOXVILLE, TN, July 9th & 10th , 2011 (USMS Sanction 151-005)
Why is this in general discussion, and not in event announcements? Because we are just getting started, this is the first LCM masters meet in Knoxville since the dawn of time, and we’re interested in any tips & tricks of the trade to help get the meets established! Is it true that a two-day schedule is more attractive to out-of-town swimmers, who have to travel? Will the absence of the 800 and/or 1500 free from the program discourage too many people? Will the presence of the 400 IM attract its newest devotee, want2beafish? Is our new masters coach, meet director, instigator, organizer, energizer bunny, & signature asset Jessica Hart the awesomest ever or what??
Also there are more eyeballs here. Spread the word! Thanks!
I loved this pool. When's the next meet going to be held there?
Alas, the talented, energetic, and ambitious Jessica Hart, who was head of the masters program at the time, got a real job, somewhere in Virginia. Her successor didn't last long in the role, and I have no idea who's in charge now. I suspect the next masters meet will be in about ... never.
However, if you are fast enough to swim with the kids (or don't mind finishing 75th out of 80), there are several USAS meets hosted by Pilot Aquatic Club each year. The next meet is the Pilot January Classic, Jan. 18-20, link here.
