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.
i am 641.
a rough estimate says i will swim sometime between 11 and 13hrs after the start of the event.
and check out the 225 heats of the mens 100 free. yes, think about that. 2200 men in just 1 event. now think about this. if all of them want to warmup (at the same time let's say) and we use a 10 lane pool. that is 220 per lane. if everyone can go a 1:50 per 100 (110secs) then we only have to have 2 people in the same second in each lane. and with each person being more than 1 sec long.........well i'm sure this will be interesting to say the least. never mind the other events wanting to warmup.
or to put this into perspective. there are 400 more men in the 100 free than were total people (men & women) at greensboro! or almost twice as many as are going to omaha.
I did search for swims by the American seeded one above you. One 800 in the database as a US master. 9:35 SCM, yet the entry time is 9:15 LCM.
