2007 - 2008 Meet Schedule

I'm always amazed at how many swimming fans have never been to an actual swim meet. Of course, up until 2005 I myself had never attended anything bigger than the local club team's meet so I guess I shouldn't be so surprised. A group of us from BHO attended Montreal Worlds in 2005 and had such an amazing time that it's been hard to stop and now I feel like an old pro (although I still don't write all the split times on my heat sheets. L.A.M.E. ;).

I decided that this year I'd try something a little different to encourage all you readers to get out and cheer on your favorites in person so I've started putting together a sort of "Psych Sheet" for the season, that just lists our favorites (ie: the swimmers who return my emails) and the meets they plan to attend. This in no way lists EVERY meet scheduled this year, but as I hear back from folks I'll add to the schedule and you can start planning to attend. For the most part swim meets are very inexpensive, tickets costing anywhere from a few dollars to $25, Trials, Worlds and the Olympics being exceptions of course $$$$$.

Check out the schedule (I'll keep a handy link to it in the sidebar) and find a meet near you!

  • Good idea, Michelle. Very convenient. Now if they would only schedule some big meets in my area...

  • You've got a drivers license now Tim. How far is Missouri from Michigan? Aren't all the M states right there together? (Geography is not my strength obviously).

  • The Northeast isn't getting much swimming love this season. Woe.

  • This is really cool Meesh. You may have to write everyone right before the meet to confirm if they are coming.. or ask them to write you. I need the meet schedules for my area. I am glad that Men's Pac 10s will be in Long Beach. We have have Women's the past two years, which has been great, but I am ready to see the Men again.
    I have been thinking about going up there for NCAAs. Not sure yet though.
