The order of events, paper entry and qualifying times have been posted for the 2013 United States Masters Swimming Spring Nationals May 9-12 at the Natatorium at IUPUI in Indianapolis. Online registration will be going up soon.

You can swim three events without qualifying, and six events with qualifying times. But it’s the honor system. I’d urge you to consider this meet. Nationals area a lot of fun, and it’s an opportunity to have it so close to home. You don’t have to be an elite swimmer to compete. Find more information at http://www.usms.org/comp/scnats13/.

If you’re planning to attend from out of town, reserve a hotel room now! Festivities with the Indianapolis 500 will be in full swing by May. Hotel rooms are running short.

If you live within the Indy area, and you are willing to host a swimmer from out of town, contact Indy Aquatic Masters coach Mel Goldstein at goldsteinmel@sbcglobal.net. And if you’re willing to volunteer at the meet, contact Mel or check Indy Aquatic Masters web site here.
