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 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.

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.
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.
