With the coronavirus pandemic still looming, nations around the world are continuing to ease restrictions and attempt to get economies, as well as life in general, back into a ‘normal’ groove.
As such, we’re seeing October’s swimming meet schedule carry several more meets than September, as national championship season gets underway in some parts of the world.
Germany, Japan, and New Zealand are among the nations hosting domestic championships, while key state meets in Australia are also set to take place. Belgium and Bulgaria are in the mix, as is the International Swimming League, whose season is set to kick-off on October 16th in Budapest, Hungary.
Let me know in the comments of any competitions I may have missed in this October 2020 schedule.
