## Competition programme

The event schedule for all meets was the same: a 2-day format, all events both day with men swimming half and females the other half (genders switch events for the second day, thereby swimming all events per gender). All events are short course (25m) format, and all are prelims/finals except for the women's 800 free and men's 1500 free which are timed finals (swum just once). For meets 1–6, prelims and finals were the same day; for meet 7 (Belo Horizonte), prelims were held in the afternoon with finals the next morning (causing its 3-dates for the meet).
