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.
There are quite a few very fast swimmers out there who rarely, if ever, swim in meets (that's true in the US as well). With 8000+ swimmers, I wouldn't be surprised at all for relative unknowns to pull down some very fast times.
If so, check the world Top Tens for 2010, the last time there was a world championship. Were they noticeably faster than 2009 & 2011?
