Nice job. Were you in the same heat as the Ausie & the German?
No
I was in heat 54 lane 1
Aussie was in 56 and german in 57
I split it 4:30.55 , 4:31.76
And they split it 426,434
Over 100 scratches in the mens race
I figure as long a I give credit, it's okay. (She set a WR in the 200 back)
From Karlyn Pipes-Neilson's facebook:
"This meet is not a carnival, it's a ZOO. Over 2,200 men warming up and cooling down in a 25-meter, five lane pool. Pure chaos."3459
At times, it looked that bad at Greensboro. But, the numbers don't compare... What a mess!

That pic shows it empty
When i was in "the mosh pit" it was standing 7 deep at the wall and you walked about 10m of each 25
In a 500 i did 1 flip turn
8:54 pm and only 50 more heats of 100 ***
I have been looking forward to Worlds at Montreal,and I still am I guess,but after reading this I'm not so sure.I believe there were 4500 swimmers at Stanford,so with 4 warmup pools and a smaller number it went relatively smoothly.I doubt Montreal will get 8500,but 6000 is a reasonable prediction I guess.How many pools will Montreal have?
How many pools will Montreal have?
Montreal has two 50 meter outdoor pools. Here is a satellite image of the facility. It looks like the diving well is about 25 x 25 meters, and could be used for warmups. I don't know about that funky-shaped section of the center pool. I don't see anything else in the neighborhood that looks like a pool.
