PROGRAM The competition is conducted as preliminaries and finals. The competition program starts with the women’s section. In the final swims, the B-final takes place first, then the A-final. At 50 m and 100 m distances the A and B finals*, at 200 m distances the A final and at the 400 m, 800 m and 1500 m distances the fastest exchange in the evening part (*the B final takes place if at least 24 athletes participate in the preliminary swims). NB! In men’s 800 m and women’s 1500 m freestyle, all age groups are judged separately. The exchanges are completed in order of time, regardless of the athlete’s age group. Foreign competitors can participate in all preliminaries. A maximum of two foreign competitors can enter the finals, regardless of whether only the A final or both the A and B finals take place. In individual events with direct finals, a maximum of two foreign competitors can also start in the fastest shift. CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION Participation in the competition is based on a valid Estonian Swimming Association license. Estonian championships do not have a time limit for fulfilling the norm – everyone who has fulfilled the current norm and can prove it can start.
