Event schedule

The Amateur Swimming Union of the Americas (ASUA) originally proposed an 8-day format for the Games, mimicking the Olympic order format with prelims/semifinals/finals. However, this was changed in June 2010 at the bequest of the local organizers to a 7-day format, changing to a prelims/finals only (with A&B finals).[18] The shortening was to allow for the Open Water races, which were the day following the Swimming competition, to move from Sunday, October 23, 2011 to Saturday, October 22 in Puerto Vallarta. As part of the formatting change, the men's 1500 free and women's 800 free were also moved from the last two days of the schedule to earlier in the program to distance them from the open water swim.[19]
