FYI: The time line and heat sheets are available! :bliss:
Just wondering, though... Can anybody out there explain how I (Elaine Krugman) got placed in Heat 3 of the 100 Yd Breaststroke (Lane 8). Based on my seed time and age, shouldn't I have been placed in Heat 7? If anybody out there has a clue, will you please explain it to me? Check out the seed times and ages in Heat 7 and see if I'm on the right track with my thinking...
Hey, Anna Lea, it looks like we'll be next to each other in the 100 and have one between us in the 50 Yd Breaststroke. :D You should have joined me in the 200 Yd Breaststroke! :agree:

Back in our age group days it was like that. Now I think they do swim the distance events twice for the top level meets (Nationals, Trials, Worlds, Olympics). They do prelims of it on one day and the final the next.
Jeff, if it is a selection meet for the olympics, then the women's 800 and men's 1500 freestyle are done as your described.
Most meets, even at a lot of usa nationals, the distance freestyles are timed finals.
