Looking ahead to 2012, they have posters here in Sweden about the next FINA Masters to be held in Riccione, Italy. I went there when they held it in 2004 and had a great time. The dates are June 2-16, 2012.
Just curious... they seemed to have combined the Open Water swim entrants with all of the other entrants when counting the number of attendees. I am sure there are some who have only entered the Open, but i would guess that most, like myself, are entered in both "Swimming" and "Open Water." This gives a false impression of the number of people actually attending the meet. If all Open Water swimmers are also pool swimmers then that takes about 2,000 off of the total number of entrants. Still, there are a lot of people going.
