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.
When I was in Mission Viejo for Nationals, I spoke with a representative from Montreal about Worlds. Good news: They are currently in negotiations to have TWO temporary pools built for Worlds to provide additional warm-up lanes. :applaud:
I am pretty sure your entry time must be faster than the qualifying time.There are always a lot of swimmers who enter that don't break the qualifying time at the meet.For them it is basically the same as a DQ or a DNS.I guess my point is,you don't have to verify the QT to enter,but if you aren't sure you are faster,it may not be worthwhile to swim that event.
