2016 FINA Swimming World Cup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2016 FINA Swimming World Cup was a series of nine two-day meets in nine cities between August and October 2016. After switching to long-course (50-meter) pools in the previous year's pre-Olympic season, this edition returned to the usual short-course (25-meter pool) format.[1] Like the previous short course World Cup in 2014, 36 events were scheduled. The total amount of prize money was US$ 2,178,000.[2] The first meet started 13 days after the final day of the Olympic pool swimming program.

The 2016 World Cup consisted of the following nine meets, which were divided into three clusters. Berlin returned after having been omitted for the previous two editions. The other eight cities were the same as the previous year.[3]
