The Mutual of Omaha Duel in the Pool is Tuesday
In just its second year, the Mutual of Omaha Duel in the Pool – held this year in Irvine, Calif., on Aug. 2 – will be a coming out party for some young stars, a chance for established stars to continue their domination and a chance for standouts entering their final quadrennial to further cement their legacies.

In the last Duel in the Pool meet they had one heat per event for both Men and Women. Each country swam 3 swimmers a side and they used 6 lanes and had the two outside lanes empty. They started out with a the 400 Free Relay with the women going first and then the Men and ended with the 400 Medley Relay.
If I remember correctly, they have a lot of officals watching 2 lanes. In the last Dual in the Pool meet Libby Lenton was DQed after she won the 50 Free for a slight movement on the start. Also Natlie got DQed for the same thing in the 400 Medley Relay.
I think they let you swim 4 events plus relays. I know Phelps swam the 400 IM, 200 IM, 100 Fly, and 200 Fly. He got a WR in the 400 IM and he may have gotten another in the 200 IM. I remember he swam the 200 Fly late in the meet and was behind Tom Malchow and out touched him by .04 under the flags. He missed the WR by half a second. I also remember Edwin Moses swimming real well at this meet almost getting a WR in the 100 ***. He split :59.7 in the 400 Medley Relay and at that time was the fastest split by an American.
