Nationals Preview and Info

On Monday morning, we head for Indianapolis.  Connecting through Seattle and Chicago, to Indianapolis, our flights have us arriving in Indy at about 5:00pm, plenty of time to get to the pool in time for a warm-up to shake out any cobwebs from the day of travel.  The IUPUI Natatorium is one of the finest swimming and diving facilities in the world and has been host to several NCAA Championships.

On Tuesday, Claire and Karl will get another chance to swim before the Tuesday evening banquet dinner.  The banquet dinner will feature a guest speaker, and all the teams competing at the meet will be present for the event.  Afterwards, it's time to shave down and get ready to race!

Here is a day-by-day schedule for Karl and Claire:
Wednesday: Claire: 50 freestyle
Thursday: Karl: 100 butterfly
Friday: Claire: 100 breaststroke; Karl: 200 butterfly
Saturday: Claire: 200 breaststroke: Karl, 100 freestyle

Prelims for each session start at 10am Eastern Time, finals each night at 6pm Eastern Time.

Live results will be available.  I'll be posting links, photos, and other info on our Facebook and Twitter.  Be sure to check them frequently!  I will also be posting stories and photos to the blog throughout the week.
