While waiting for the teams, just a point about the running of the competition. There are always different ways of running competitions, none are the same and all have their good points.
One good thing at this competition that I've never seen before is that while the swimmer is swimming to the exit after swimming, a snippet of the next piece is played, literally just 2-3 seconds.
This simple thing is such a good idea. It takes away the possibility of the music controller playing the wrong CD, proves the CD can play, so avoiding having the swimmer ready in position and having to restart in the event of music failure, and puts the audience in the mood for the next piece. It also allows the swimmer to signal to the sound desk to up the music volume if it's a quiet piece.
Team are swimming at 11:20 CET, so I'll try get an update before leaving for the airport.
