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?

Wow, the kid swam faster at the swim-off.I wonder how much rest they got...As a matter of fact is it regulated how much time one can rest between the tie race and the swim-off?
