Seeding
The 1000 and 1650 freestyle events will be deck seeded slowest to fastest by entry time, regardless of age and gender (i.e. men and women combined). The 400 IM and 500 freestyle events will be deck seeded by age group, with the oldest age groups first, slowest to fastest within each age group and men and women separate. All 50s, 100s and 200s will be pre-seeded by age group, with the oldest age groups first, slowest to fastest within each age group and men and women separate. Some limited exceptions may apply to swimmers not meeting National Qualifying Times--they may be seeded in heats closer to their seed times. Women’s heats will precede men’s heats for all events. All events will be swum in two 10-lane courses.
