Wow! I didn't see anything other than the indoor pool and the diving well, but the indoor pool is definitely one of the nicest pools I've ever seen. Maybe The Nicest. Spectacular. When I have dreams about swimming, it's at UTK.

I never swam at this pool but I swam in the other one years ago that was called Student Aquatic Center and that was a state of the art pool back then. The other pool that is outdoors hosted the 1975 USMS Long Course Nationals. Now with this pool, they have three 50 meter pools all within walking distance of each other. recsports.utk.edu/.../index.php My wife and I swam in the 1975 Long Course, with our 10 week-old son in tow. The meet was held in the indoor pool with the outdoor used for warmup. Great pool and meet! Haven't been back since, but would like to see another Nats there sometime.

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. .

The pool at UT is WAY nicer plus I feel like I should support a meet in my LMSC and my state!!! Please keep that in mind, when we officially post our SCY seasons meets. They'll be coming up on October 22 and March 17 in Mufreesboro,TN:)

I understand your quibble, according to map quest it is 4 hrs. and 28 minutes. When I drive it, it really is about the same time as Knoxville. It's not my call. I'd LOVE to come to the UT pool. I really wanted to come to the SC meet back in December. We'll see which way the club votes. We DO have a strong backer for Carbondale, since one of our swimmers did his undergrad work there and also swam collegiately for SIU. I'll do what I can OF COURSE you are most welcome and strongly encouraged to come to our humble facility here in Knoxville! May I quibble with your estimation of the driving burden? According to my investigations, driving from Shelbyville, TN to Carbondale, IL takes 4 hours 28 minutes (261 miles), but driving from Shelbyville, TN to Knoxville, TN only takes 3 hours 25 minutes (207 miles). In all fairness, your teammates should have accurate information prior to voting! While I confess to shameless cheering for the home team here, I will resist the urge to post a link to a rousing rendition of Rocky Top. You're welcome. Tennessee, Tennessee, there ain't no place I'd rather be ...

I've sent this out to all of our club members. We are planning on swimming one LC meet this summer, even though we don't train LC. Problem is, we've been invited to the LC meet in Carbondale, IL on the same weekend. It's exactly the same driving distance to both meets for us. Our members will vote on which one we attend. Will let you know ASAP. OF COURSE you are most welcome and strongly encouraged to come to our humble facility here in Knoxville! May I quibble with your estimation of the driving burden?

I am really sorry I won't be able to attend this meet. The folks and facility in Knoxville are world class. Judd, I don't arrive in the U.S. until July 23rd, but I plan on being at summer nats. Hope to see you guys there.

Hope y'all can come!! Here is something I just noticed about the event order ... 2011 USMS LCM Nationals .... GKMS LCM Meet July 9-10 Thursday, August 4, 2011 ... SATURDAY July 9, 2011 5. 400 Individual Medley ... 1. 400 meter IM 7. 200 Freestyle ........... 2. 200 meter Free 9. 50 Breaststroke ......... 3. 50 meter *** 11. 200 Backstroke ......... 4. 200 meter Back 13. 100 Butterfly .......... 5. 100 meter Fly Friday, August 5, 2011 17. Men 400 Freestyle 21. 100 Breaststroke ....... 6. 100 meter *** 23. 50 Butterfly ........... 7. 50 meter Fly ............................ SUNDAY July 10, 2011 ............................ 9. 400 meter Free 25. 200 Individual Medley .. 10. 200 meter IM 27. 100 Freestyle .......... 11. 100 meter Free 29. 50 Backstroke .......... 12. 50 meter Back Saturday, August 6, 2011 34.

But I can't explain why the 50 free and 100 back are swapped at the end!

Just announced today! Will the presence of the 400 IM attract its newest devotee, want2beafish? Umm.... no. SCY vs. LCM -- two different animals entirely. :) But I will check my family's schedule, try to be there for the other events (yay 200 back!!!), and spread the word!!
