2012 FINA World Masters Championship

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.
  • Mary's dates are correct: I have their marketing material in hand with the date June 2-16.Is this posted online yet anywhere? Any idea when the pool events are in that time period?
  • Very strange, but the calendar doesn't even specify the dates - just the whole month of August 2012. Can anyone verify this for us?

    It looks like the dates have been changed to August 2012 instead of June! Here's a link to the FINA calendar
  • outside of the FINA calendar it still says 2-16 june everywhere else. I had a link to the 2012 that I wrote down when in Göteborg, but can't seem to find it or anything like i online.
  • With an August date, I/we would be likely to go. With a June date, zero chance.:bitching:Me vice-versa. Either June or August, though, at least opens the timing possibility of hitting both Worlds and Nationals in Omaha ... budgetary and spouse-happiness conditions probably prevent an excellent two-fer, though.

  • Yeah, my feeling is the FINA calendar hasn't been updated. The info in Gothenburg definitely said the 2012 competition would be in June.
  • We've got three little ones in school until mid June...I've got the opposite problem ... Arizona schools start way early August, but tend to end by Memorial Day.

  • those dates can't be right. nobody gets a hotel room at riccione in august. all the italians are on vacation. a girl who swims with me is from there. i will ask her to verify.
