Shocking to me that the NCAA Division I Championships are not on this list, when in fact they are much tougher to qualify for than the Olympic Games, and will have a strong cast of some of the fastest young international swimmers. Arguably the fastest 2 meets in the World. Just sayin…
This is a list of international meets. NCAA is considered a domestic competition.
