2014 Worlds

If I'm remembering correctly, this was the same order of events for both Stanford and Italy, and there was a 5-event limit.

Yes, it is the same schedule and there is a 5 event limit. There is also a limit of 2 events per day. General rules are posted under the Competition tab, Disciplines, Swimming at the event website:

PWB, do you know now many DAYS it would take if there was a 1500? a single 10 lane pool? holy long days batman!!! there were 2 x 10 lane pools in italy and the meet went to 11pm each night. granted i bet that 6000 italians dont show up either. imagine 254 heats of the mens 100 free. oh wait i was there for that! but put 180 womens heats before that!

There is never a 1500 at Worlds. It WOULD take days...

Oh, dear, the venue is described as Located next to Parc Jean-Drapeau metro station, the Aquatic Complex includes one 10 lane main competition pool, one recreational pool with 8 lanes as well as a world class diving tank. The diving and swimming events will take place at Parc Jean-Drapeau Aquatic Complex. Since the diving is taking place at the same time as swimming events, I assume the 10 lane pool will be used for competition and the 8 lane for warm-up/warm-down. Riccione had two competition pools and two warm-up/warm-down pools and even that was crowded. This is going to be very crowded and look for loooooong days.

... there is a 5 event limit. There is also a limit of 2 events per day.That's cool. If I make it out there, I can find 5 events of happiness between Monday and Wednesday.

This is going to be very crowded and look for loooooong days.They held the 'real' World Championships at this facility a few years back (2005). I doubt this will be as big as Riccione or Stanford, but, yes, the days will be long. Maybe they'll open up the Olympic pool across town and offer a shuttle service for warm-up / warm-down? Even better, if the meet gets too large, run a two pool scenario between Jean Drapeau and the Olympic Pool like they did at Worlds a few years ago, alternating men and women by pool by day.

Since the diving is taking place at the same time as swimming events, I assume the 10 lane pool will be used for competition and the 8 lane for warm-up/warm-down. I wonder about that, too. I would have assumed both pools would be used for competition. In fact I thought that was a requirement for Worlds, but I don't see any other pool space available in the complex if the dive tank is being used for diving at the same time. Here's the website for the Parc Jean-Drapeau Aquatic Complex, by the way: www.parcjeandrapeau.com/.../

I went to the web site for Worlds and looked at the venues pull down. They show three venues with pools including the Montreal Olympic venue. So, my guess is that diving will be in one venue and swimming in another. It would not really be possible to hold swimming and diving at the same time.

CORRECTION - I just looked again, and the Olympic venue will be used for water polo and the Claude-Robillard Sports Complex will be used for water polo and synchro. So the swim venue will be used for diving too. My error!

www.parcjeandrapeau.com/.../ If I did this right, you can see a photo of all three pools. The diving well is at the opposite end from the competition pool, still it would be much better if the diving well was open for warm up/down as well. Below might be a picture of the pools or computer gibberish (I am not too computer savy - but you all could tell) javascript:void(0);
