The total number of participants is 12600! There are over 100 water polo teams and more than 2300 swimmers join the open water swimming in the sea. To give you an idea of the huge number of participants the following example: 100 m free is swum in a 50 m pool with 10 lanes. And there are 224 series !!. There are ONLY 106 series for women. Men's 400 free 91 series! Mens 50 free? 282 series.
Yes i am 641 in the 800
It is 1:10pm and im still at the hotel on the day i race.
Will go over at about 3pm and see when i actually do race.
They are ready room filling empty lanes as they go.
Consider what warmups will be like monday morning with 560 men in the 200 back. You know all of them will want to practice starts and flags. Never mind the 2200+ for the 100 free
