New question I heard on deck at a local meet yesterday. Laura, can you please clarify this statement made on the info page?
Men's heats and women's heats will start at alternate ends of the pool. Women's heats will precede men's heats for each event.
I'm a little confused by this. Using the 100 free as a generic example, does this mean:
A) Heat 1 of the women's 100 free starts from end A. Then heat 2, 3, 4, etc of the Women start from end A. After the final heat the first heat of the Men's 100 free starts from end B.
or
B) Heat 1 of the women's 100 free starts from end A. Then Heat 1 of the Men's 100 free starts from end B. Alternate until all heats are exhausted.
I'm sure it is example A because your second sentence says Women's heats precede Men's but I just want to be sure because the word "alternate" is confusing as it can give two possible scenarios. Plus I can't extract the benefit to swapping ends at the conclusion of each event.
Thanks,
Jeff
