Registration for Worlds should open soon(by 1-15 according to their website,which must operate in a different space/time continuum.)Who is going? This should be a really fun meet and with FINA now linking Masters Worlds with Worlds this may be the last time the meet is in North America for awhile.
I have a quick question regarding Worlds vs Nationals. For Nationals you do not have to qualify to swim. You could swim up to 3 events for which you did not qualify (excluding distance events). This does not exist for Worlds, correct?
Thanks in advance,
Brian
Yes to your answer. You are not suppose to swim any events that you did not make qualifying times for. Where in USMS you get 3 (excluding distance events). If you are close to qualifying, you can gamble and swim but if you don't make the qualifying times when you swim you will be listed in the results as DNF or something like that. Go to the FINA website and look at the results and you will see a lot of those as you browse through the results.
