I was wondering what happens if in semi-finals two people show the same result which would place them in the 8th position?obviously only one can go on to the finals, but how is it decided who gets to go and who is out?

  • Swim-offs occur fairly frequently. They usually do them at the end of prelims. The only meets where the 800 and 1500 free AREN'T timed finals (i.e., you only have to swim once) I know of are World Championships and Olympics. But, yeah, a swim-off in the 1500 would show who the real man or woman is!
