A review of the last 7 years, shows only 4 out of 37 Open Water National Championships held in the Southwest (I'm counting Colorado or it would be 2/37). Not a single event in 2007. 2008, 2011, and 2012. 76% were held in NE, SE, or midwest. With my local boy shut down for 2013, let me remind the power we have nice beaches, relatively non-toxic (compared to Chicago) scenic lakes, 15,000 plus members (Pacific, South Pacific, San Diego, Arizona), and Alex Kostich. What more is needed?

i don't think usms has reached out to anyone in texas either. there is another org that puts on about a dozen OW events each year.
CA has tons of great events from the bay to la jolla. i'm not sure what usms could offer that would improve them.
usms does provide an easy route to sanction and insurance, but then, participation is limited to members only (18 or older)
