"The 800m and 1500m freestyle events will be swum slowest to fastest, alternating women’s and men’s heats, with the fastest heat of each race swum during the evening session. All other heats will be swum so the second fastest heat of the Men’s event finishes approximately one hour prior to the start of the evening session."
Heats for each event will begin at 9:00 am PST, while the finals will be held at 5:00 pm PST.
Tickets are still available for the event, most of which will be for a full day of events. There are well over 20 events on certain days, making the tickets a worthwhile investment for fans.
