The Commonwealth Games are held every 4 years and have many of the same events as the Summer Olympics, including swimming. Participating countries include England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Canada, Australia, and other countries that used to be part of the British Empire.
The 2010 Commonwealth Games will be held in Delhi, India from October 3 - 14. The swimming portion of the games will be held on October 4-13. Australia and Canada will be competing in both the Commonwealth Games and the Pan Pacs. I wonder if top swimmers will elect to participate in just one competition or both.
Australia's nationals, which serve as the selection trials for the Pan Pacs, will take place this coming week (March 16-21) in Sydney. The Australian team for the Commonwealth Games will be selected from performances at nationals and Pan Pacs.
The English team will be chosen from the fastest times at the European Championships (August 4 - 14 in Budapest, Hungary), the British Championships (March 29-April 3) and ASA Nationals (August 18-21).
