It's supposed to be a secret, but what will the boy swim this summer? Definite, TRIALS 200 fly 200 IM 400 IM 200 free (especially for 800 free relay) Probable, TRIALS 100 fly (especially for 400 medley relay) 100 free Maybe, TRIALS 200 back 400 free??? (I have NO idea; it doesn't seem like he's training for it) Definite, BEIJING 200 fly 200 IM 400 IM But what would his other 2 individual events be? EDIT: mod edited for me!

  • the big issue Phelps and Bowman are considering is the order of events at Trials and the Olympics look at how they fall and which FINAL events will he have to swim back to back He's OK with semifinals, he can hold back some and swim for time or place. he will swim the Bolded events 100 fl, 200 fr, fl, & IM and the 400 IM he may swim the 100 back because it falls favorably in the meet order he will probably swim the 100 Free though he could just let his time stand I have a feeling it will take 48.2 - 48.4 to make top 6 BUT if he swims the 200 BK he will have a challenging session in Thursday's Finals and very difficult session on the Friday July 4th Finals because the 200 bk final is before the 200 IM Final, then the 100 fly semi final follows both Lochte will swim the 200 BK & 200 IM I bet Phelps lets lochte and piersol fight out the 200 bk US Olympic Trials order of events (I believe the Olympic order of events is the same) Sunday June 29 - Preliminaries - 11:00 a.m. 400 IM – men 100 Fly – women 400 Free – men 400 IM – women 100 *** – men Sunday June 29 – Finals - 6:45 p.m. 400 IM – men - FINAL 100 Fly – women - semifinal 400 Free –men – FINAL 400 IM – women – FINAL 100 *** – men – semifinal Monday June 30 - Preliminaries - 11:00 a.m. 100 Back – women 200 Free – men 100 *** – women 100 Back – men 400 Free – women Monday June 30 – Finals - 6:45 p.m. 100 Back – women - semifinal 200 Free – men – semifinal 100 Fly – women - FINAL 100 *** – men - FINAL 100 *** – women - semifinal 100 Back – men - semifinal 400 Free – women – FINAL Tuesday July 1 - Preliminaries - 11:00 a.m. 200 Free – women 200 Fly – men 200 IM – women Tuesday July 1 – Finals - 6:45 p.m. 200 Free – women – semifinal 200 Free – men - FINAL 100 Back – women - FINAL 100 Back – men - FINAL 100 *** – women - FINAL 200 Fly – men - semifinal 200 IM – women – semifinal Wednesday July 2 - Preliminaries - 11:00 a.m. 100 Free – men 200 Fly – women 200 *** – men Wednesday July 2 - Finals - 6:45 p.m. 100 Free – men - semifinal 200 Free – women – FINAL 200 Fly – men - FINAL 200 Fly – women - semifinal 200 *** – men - semifinal 200 IM – women – FINAL Thursday July 3 - Preliminaries - 11:00 a.m. 100 Free – women 200 Back – men 200 *** – women 200 IM – men Thursday July 3 – Finals - 6:45 p.m. 200 *** – men - FINAL 100 Free – women – semifinal 200 Back – men - semifinal 200 Fly – women - FINAL 100 Free – men - FINAL 200 *** – women - semifinal 200 IM – men – semifinal Friday July 4 - Preliminaries - 11:00 a.m. 50 Free – men 800 Free – women 100 Fly – men 200 Back – women Friday July 4 - Finals - 6:45 p.m. 50 Free – men - semifinal 200 *** – women - FINAL 200 Back – men – FINAL 200 Back – women - semifinal 200 IM – men - FINAL 100 Free – women - FINAL 100 Fly – men – semifinal Saturday July 5 - Preliminaries - 11:00 a.m. 50 Free – women 1500 Free – men Saturday July 5 - Finals - 6:45 p.m. 200 Back – women - FINAL 100 Fly – men - FINAL 800 Free – women - FINAL 50 Free – men - FINAL 50 Free – women – semifinal July 6 - Sunday No Preliminaries July 6 - Sunday Finals - 6:45 p.m. 50 Free – women - FINAL 1500 Free – men - FINAL
