After a jam-packed month of April in terms of international meets, most of which carried significant elite championship qualification implications, things calm down slightly for the month of May. But, there are still quite a number of notable meets, including the inaugural FINA Champions Series, which sees its 2nd stop in Budapest this month.
The Japan Open is another big-time competition, which will give the nation one more chance to qualify for the World Championships.
Let me know in the comments of any meets I may have missed.
