Order of events posted -- finamasters2014.org/schedule.aspx
My assessment / notes:
No 1500
Distance swimmers better bring lots of cash -- 800 on August 3rd, 400 on August 9th, 3KM OW on August 10th
IMers should be happy -- 400 IM on Tuesday, 200 IM on Wednesday
Relay day smack in the middle on Thursday
My bang for the buck will be showing up Tuesday and Wednesday to grab 4-6 events, depending upon entry limits.
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.
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.
