Swimming Schedule and Results in Beijing

Wading through the event and coverage schedules can be tedious and confusing so here is the official schedule, down to the minute, when the various swimming events are taking place:

Along with the start time and starting list for each heat of each event there are links to the results.

There are no guarantees that these events will be shown live on your television channel of choice of course, but it's better than only knowing that there will be some coverage of swimming sometime between 7pm and midnight!

The times are in Beijing's time zone which is 12 hours ahead of Eastern Time here in Canada so an event starting at 10am Sunday morning in Beijing will start at 10pm Saturday night in Toronto or Montreal. You can do the math for your time zone or use this converter:

Canadian swimmers have already broken some Canadian records! Go Canadians!
