Competition will take place from August 12-15 at the William Woollett Aquatics Center, which was the host of Pan Pacs in 2010. The venue also just hosted the United States National Championships and this week is the site of Junior Nationals.<\/p>\n<p>Because the meet is being held over only four days, some athletes will likely be forced to make difficult decisions concerning their programs. Do swimmers try to jam in an extra event or two, but risk the chance of not being at full force from a lack of recovery time? Or, will athletes opt to sacrifice an event in order to be in peak form in another discipline? We&#8217;ll soon see how the schedule influences program choices.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the complete schedule for pool swimming. The 10k open-water races will take place on August 11 at the Long Beach Marine Stadium.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday, August 12 (Prelims)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>50 Butterfly (W\/M)<br \/>\n200 Freestyle (W\/M)<br \/>\n100 Backstroke (W\/M)<br \/>\n200 Butterfly (W\/M)<br \/>\n800 Freestyle (M)<br \/>\n1500 Freestyle (W)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday, August 12 (Finals)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>50 Butterfly (W\/M)<br \/>\n200 Freestyle (W\/M)<br \/>\n100 Backstroke (W\/M)<br \/>\n200 Butterfly (W\/M)<br \/>\n800 Freestyle (M)<br \/>\n1500 Freestyle (W)<br \/>\nMixed 400 Medley Relay<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thursday, August 13 (Prelims)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>400 Individual Medley (W\/M)<br \/>\n100 Freestyle (W\/M)<br \/>\n100 Breaststroke (W\/M)<br \/>\n50 Backstroke (W\/M)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thursday, August 13 (Finals)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>400 Individual Medley (W\/M)<br \/>\n100 Freestyle (W\/M)<br \/>\n100 Breaststroke (W\/M)<br \/>\n50 Backstroke (W\/M)<br \/>\n800 Freestyle Relay (W\/M)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday, August 14 (Prelims)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>400 Freestyle (W\/M)<br \/>\n100 Butterfly (W\/M)<br \/>\n200 Backstroke (W\/M)<br \/>\n50 Breaststroke (W\/M)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday, August 14 (Finals)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>400 Freestyle (W\/M)<br \/>\n100 Butterfly (W\/M)<br \/>\n200 Backstroke (W\/M)<br \/>\n50 Breaststroke (W\/M)<br \/>\n400 Freestyle Relay (W\/M)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday, August 15 (Prelims)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>200 Individual Medley (W\/M)<br \/>\n50 Freestyle (W\/M)<br \/>\n200 Breaststroke (W\/M)<br \/>\n1500 Freestyle (M)<br \/>\n800 Freestyle (W)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday, August 15 (Finals)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>200 Individual Medley (W\/M)<br \/>\n50 Freestyle (W\/M)<br \/>\n200 Breaststroke (W\/M)<br \/>\n1500 Freestyle (M)<br \/>\n800 Freestyle (W)<br \/>\n400 Medley Relay (W\/M)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Complete Schedule for the Pan Pacific Championships;
