The meet was held using an innovative format. Each session consisted of nine events for men and women: six individual (distance freestyle, butterfly, breaststroke, sprint freestyle, backstroke, individual medley), two relays (freestyle, medley) and one diving event. Before warm-up, the distance for each of the swimming events were chosen at random and coaches had to make their entries on the spot. Swimmers were entered in three events with a maximum of two individual events. The same process was done for the second and third sessions with the remaining distances.
