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.
actually that may not even be possible.
why?
in italy they did not let men into the womens warmup pool and vice versa.
also be prepared that if you do not swim on a day you probably wont be allowed to swim at all in the warmup/competition pool.
we will need to go offsite to another facility. where? i dont know yet, but my bucket list goal is the '76 olympic pool on monday.
That would be disappointing, although it might be easier to get in a decent warmup.
At Worlds in 2006 at Stanford, I don't think there was any prohibition against men in the women's pool and vice versa. However, there definitely were staff members at the gates checking to see if your credentials had that day's events listed. If not, you weren't allowed on deck that day. So it wouldn't surprise me if that's the case again this year.
