Gold Medal Mel announced on his website that USA Swimming is offering a VIP All-Sessions Package for Pan Pacs. The cost is $1,000 per person, which seems like a lot for a swim meet. But you get a lot of bang for your buck including:
· VIP Seating directly behind the starting blocks
· Nightly Receptions prior to Finals
· Complimentary Event Program and Daily Heat Sheet
· All-Session Event Credential
· Complimentary food and drink at each session
· Opportunity to meet selected athletes (based on athlete schedule and availability)
· Ticket to attend the Team USA Celebration Dinner on the final night of the meet with the team
Most importantly, your ticket purchase will support the USA Swimming Foundation and its "learn to swim" programs.
That's a pretty good deal, especially if you want the opportunity to meet swimmers. More information can be found at:

If you want to buy regular tickets, they are on sale here http://usaswimming.tix.com/Event.asp?Event=242146 for $100 per person for the entire event.
NBC will televise the Pan Pacs in the US on August 21 from 2-4 pm (EDT) and on August 22 from 3-4 pm (EDT). That's 3 hours of swimming on national TV, which I'm not going to complain about, but it would be more fun to attend and see everything.
