From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The FINA/ARENA Swimming World Cup 2008 was held in October and November 2008. The meet scheduling matched that of the 2007 series, with all meets held short course metres (25 m) format.

The series winners were Cameron van der Burgh of South Africa and Marieke Guehrer of Australia.

Venues

The 2008 World Cup was staged at seven venues on five continents, with each meet following a heats and finals format for all events, with the exception of the 800 m and 1500 m freestyle and 400 m individual medley events which were heat-declared winners. The Brazil meet at Belo Horizonte was held as a three-day meet with evening heats and finals the following morning, with the remaining six meets being held over two days with morning heats and evening finals on each day. The order of events at each meet was the same.

Overall World Cup

At each meet of the World Cup circuit in 2008, the FINA Points Table [8] was used to rank all swim performances at the meet. The top 10 men and top 10 women were then awarded World Cup points. Bonus points were awarded for a world record broken (20 points) or equalled (10 points). [9] The number of World Cup points awarded were doubled for the final meet of the World Cup in Berlin.
