Finals start at

There were qualifying times in 1956.
I went on the USA-S website and searched for Olympic Trials 1956 and found a photocopy of the heat sheet. Very interesting. What surprised me most was how few events there were. There was a 200 ***, but no 100 ***. There was a 100 back, but no 200 back.
I qualified in the 100 free, but did not go as I had just barely made the cut. Until I found the heat sheet, I wondered why I didn't qualify in the 100 *** as I always thought I was better in that event. Ironically, in my Masters career, 100 free is one of my worst events. Maybe some day I'll surprise myself.
Results for past OTs can be found here: www.usaswimming.org/DesktopDefault.aspx
Kirk,
Thanks for the memories. Never saw these before. In '64 I got crushed between Don Schollander and Tim Garton in the last heat of the 100 free. Who knew you had to train before swimming at Trails?

Oops. Yeah, looks like you did some serious wake eating! :drowning:
