2022 FINA WORLD AQUATICS CHAMPIONSHIPSClick here to see all of our 2022 World Championship Previews. Saturday’s opening session of pool swimming at the 2022 FINA World Aquatics Championships is packed with veteran world record holders and rising stars alike in Budapest, Hungary. Five of the nine events featured on the first day will forgo the semifinals and go straight to evening finals where medals will be awarded: the men’s 400 free, women’s 400 free, men’s 400 IM, men’s 4×100 free relay, and women’s 4×100 free relay. Saturday morning’s schedule will also include prelims for the women’s 100 fly, men’s 50 fly, men’s 100 breast, and women’s 200 IM. The relays are also headlined by an Australian women’s 4×100 free team that broke the world record last summer in Tokyo, but only one swimmer from that squad – Meg Harris – is competing in Budapest.
