I asked a friend of mine at the meet about all the NT swims, he said the biggest drawback is that if you go your seed time, there's no one to race. He went marginally faster than his seed in the 200 free and finished 10+ seconds ahead of most of the heat.
He also said there's a rumor going around that after Montreal, master's worlds may be held at the same venue immediately after the FINA world championships, meaning they would probably have to be smaller and the qualification standards tightened. I'm guessing this is just talk, but wouldn't it be interesting if it was true? I doubt they'd get 8000 swimmers in Kazan, Russia.
