2010 Worlds in Sweden

The cuts for Worlds are usually somewhat easier than Nationals. Another thing to keep in mind is there's really no requirement to make any of the cuts before the meet. What happens is if you swim slower than the qualifying time at the meet it will show up as NT in the results. It's sort of like you didn't actually swim the event. are you sure about that? Because I emailed asking about the qualifying times. my questions was if I could use a converted time in the 400IM since I wasn't sure I would have a chance to swim it LCM. the answer was a quote from FINA rules, but then said he would go on to double check. Not willing to chance it I found a meet in June I can swim everything I am thinking of swimming at worlds. is there a different rule that applies to Masters meets? if so post it here, I can pass it on to the meet organizers.
