I'm not sure if you are serious, but I actually would like this. IMO, the biggest problem with Open Water Swimming is, that you can barely recognise who is who. A time trial with interval start would solve this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion that could much more easily be solved by having caps with a big flag and much easier to recognize number on them NearPup and phelps 2 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Too many people are sadly cheering or booing for nations instead of athletes anyway, so yeah But no, that's why the easy to recognize big-ass numbers on the flag-cap If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

It has potential but I strongly dislike 10km because you can barely know who the athletes are. And usually races are boring and only had action in like the last 5 minutes. Same thing for 800/1500 in the pool, it takes too long and a lot of series make it boring. Merge both and do a Open Waters time trial, with lap times and everything could be more exciting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and also 4x100 medley m/w, I hope in 2024 will be added 50 m backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly, 4 x 100 freestyle mixed, 4 x 200 freestyle mixed, and in next period something really new like swimming in 100m pools...
