  1. Anyone coming to The Woodlands in August for the national meet? We're
    planning on a big crowd. Weather should be warm (hehehe) and there is lots
    to do when you're not swimming...

    It's where they built the "new" Houston airport when they decided Hobby
    Airport was too close in....

    That's the problem with masters swimming nowadays. So many people
    enter meets that you sit all day waiting to swim. I am beginning to
    think they should swim the longer races as continuous swims. It would
    work this way. Each swimmer wears one of those triathlon id tags, and
    the lanes are set up with those id tag sensing systems, such that
    every time you pass a certain point in your lane, the counter
    increments your lap count. It takes a starting time and an ending
    time, and submits your time to the computer where it is recorded
    against your id tag. Then as each event is called, all the swimmers
    marshal behind the lanes and start circle swimming. It would work
    better in a 50 meter pool. People would start out, say, no less than
    15 seconds apart, maybe, and you could set a maximum number of
    swimmers per lane (5 maybe), and then you could pick a lane where you
    would swim next to someone in the next lane that's a little faster
    than you, so you would have something to inspire your swim.

    Well Dave, We've hosted TAGS twice and Jr Nationals since I've been helping
    with these things. They tell me that this will be bigger than either one of
    them. >1,100 swimmers 🙂

    Wow!! That is big.

    We have a crowded calendar for July. We're hosting STAGS, and Junior
    Olympics--plus city championship for summer league. I won't be seeing
    many tee times next month!! :-)

    Good luck with old guys (and gals)!
