Monday 100 Back Prelim Time: 12:26pm Central Time

The meet packet they gave me listed a pre-scratch preliminary timeline. This is a list of event start times before anybody drops any events (scratches). This information is important for anybody who is planning on watching a preliminary heat online at www.nbcolympics.com since the preliminary heats won't be televised. There will be 11 heats of the Mens 100 Backstroke. The first heat will start at 12:26pm Central Standard Time. This is 1:26pm EST. I don't know what heat I'll be in till the day of the event. The entire event will last just under 20 minutes, so it starts at 12:26 CST and ends at 12:46pm CST. This might change slightly if there are lots of scratches, but I doubt many people scratch events at this level of swimming.

Contact me if you'd like any of the start times for any other events, there are quite a few to list so I won't rewrite them all now.
