Watch USA Swimming Nationals Live Online

USA Swimming Nationals will be boradcast LIVE online at www.swimnetwork.com.  The meet is being held in Irvine, CA (outdoors!) August 3-7.  Team members Hayley Edwards, Brendan McHugh, and Mike Joyce along with former team members Billy Cregar (University of Georgia/Athens Bulldogs Swim Club) and Emily Creran (Ohio State University/Ohio State Swim Club) will all be competing in the meet.  Coach Matt will be Tweeting approximate race start times for all GPAC swimmers and alumni.  

Nationals will serve as the selection meet for the Pan Pacific Championships (to be held in Irvine, CA in late August) and the 2011 World Championships.  Everyone should have received their copy of the July issue of Splash Magazine with a preview of the meet.  The meet is taking place less than two years before the start of the 2012 London Olympic Games (which actually start two years from yesterday).  The mid-point summer Nationals has traditionally served as the point where swimmers start to establish themselves as favorites for those few, coveted Olympic Team spots.

The meet will be broadcast live each session at www.swimnetwork.com.  You can link directly to the meet from the link provided on the GPAC website.  The meet will also be shown in condensed format on NBC Saturday and Sunday August 7th and 8th.
