For those of you who aren't a fan of the order of events this year, I'm sorry. There's always someone who doesn't like the order. We mix it up every year for variety. We've never done the same order of events twice. Here's some information from our online FAQ:

Q: I don't like the order of events. I never like the order of events!
A: We're sorry. We realize that we can't make everyone happy all of the time. Every year, the order of events is changed. We try to put different events on different days each year. We try to change which events are on the same day each year. We almost never have the same two events back-to-back. The order of events follows some basic rules to keep things evenly distributed:
The 1000 free and 1650 free switch order each year
The women's and men's 500 free, and the 400 IM switch days each year
The 100 IM, 200 IM, and 400 IM are each on different days (one IM event each day)
The 50 free, 100 free, and 200 free are each on different days
For the stroke events (back, ***, fly), the 50, 100 and 200 of each stroke are on different days. Also, each day has a 50 of one stroke, a 100 of another stroke, and a 200 of the third stroke.
The 50 free, 200 free relay, and 200 medley relay are on different days (so there are three different days to swim a 50 free)
The 100 free, 400 free relay, and 400 medley relay are on different days (so there are three different days to swim a 100 free)
The 200 free and 800 free relay are on different days (so there are two different days to swim a 200 free)
We hope that if you don't like the order of events this year, then hopefully you will like the order of events next year better.
