World 2006 will start on 2-August-2006 at the Stanford Acquatic Center in Palo Alto CA. The final schedule of events (9-11 days in length) has not been determined nor has it been approved. General information on the FINA World Master 2006 Championships are posted on a website through Pacific Masters.
Psyche sheet will be available in July 2006 - entry will start in June 2005 and close in June 2006.
The official qualifying times must be approved by the FINA Bureau. This most likely will be done at the July 2005 meeting.
If you look at the qualifying times for the X FINA Masters World Championships, I think it will give you a rough idea of what the Q times will be .

Planning to have an open water swim????????? Only planning???? Not definitive statement???
What happened to “The Open Water Swim will be held at Lake Del Valle. This venue is less than an hour from Stanford.”
The average temperature of the course has to be 18 degrees C (about 65 deg F).
The water around Alcatraz is about 16 deg C (about 60 deg F) - But as the members of the South East Rowing Club say "it is a warm 60 degrees!!"
But you can swim it Karen. We will watch.
