SCORING SYSTEM
Correctly picking a swimmer to place:
- 1st – 7 points
- 2nd – 5 points
- 3rd – 4 points
- 4th – 3 points
Correctly picking a swimmer to place in the top 4 but putting them in the wrong spot, will earn you 1 point.
Picks will close at 8:00 p.m., US Eastern Time on Saturday, Feb. 10, and at that time, we will post everyone’s picks for them to see.
You CAN go in and edit your responses up until 8:00 p.m. EST on Saturday. You can also use this “edit responses” ability to go in and print or save your answers.
The tie-breaker for prizes, if necessary, will be the most correctly-picked winners in the relevant time period, then 2nd-place finishers, then 3rd-place finishers, etc. in the relevant time period.

Probably the only time I can ever recall SwimSwam experts picking at least 6 different nations to land on the relay podiums for each the men and the women. This Worlds will stand out as getting a variety of nations a taste of the medals. Will be fun to watch how it shakes out and which new stars emerge.
I’m fully preparing myself to be humiliated with myself after telling myself all this time I know swimming
Even the prizes are mailed in
If you wanted to go pick them up in person, I’m sure you could.
By now swimswam has a big global audience. Why not mail prizes to countries other than USA and Canada?Countries from Europe maybe? It’s time for that to happen guys…
I think that rests on Speedo USA and not SwimSwam
This is going to be terrible at best
