Everyone swims on the Sunday in butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle. Wednesday & Thursday are heats for handicap and skins events which have the final on the Sunday. If they don't qualify on Wednesday or Thursday, they still swim in the other events on Sunday.
Sorry not familiar with protocol…does this mean they may not swim on the Sunday? They have to qualify on the Wednesday and Thursday?
Thanks Lesley; that new link has worked for me.
