Rob, why don't you come to Chicago this summer. Meg Smath should be there to witness it.

I would assume the Olympic qualifying requirements will be tied to placement at FINA championship events plus placement at national championship event.

Anyone have any idea what the qualifying requirements are going to be to get the 10k event in 2008? I haven't seen anything about it yet and I'm curious. I know some good open water swimmers who live in small countries. :)

Well, it was great to hear that open water is now an olympic event. I think there is a lot of competition world wide in it.

Hi Mark; I saw that news today and was happy because its a big step for Open Water swimming. However at the same meeting I was sad to hear that the IOC defeated adding the 50's of strokes to the Olympics like they have in the World Championships. They should follow Masters example and do this. Well win some lose some.
