Results of 2007 web survey: Scheduling Options

In the past, we have not finalized our choice of meet dates until the January Board of Directors meeting or later. There have been suggestions to set the dates sooner to aid TSA families in planning their summers, so we could opt to make a binding calendar decision this fall as part of the same ballot as the officer elections. On the other hand, there have also been suggestions that TSA revisit the entire concept of Tuesday night meets in light of year-round schools and problems with evening weather. Saturday morning meets are common in some other summer swim leagues, for example.
