USA Swimming is teaming with the World Championship Sports Network (WCSN) to provide television coverage on Fox Sports Net and live web coverage on WCSN.com of the action from the 12th FINA Aquatics World Championships, March 17-April 1 in Melbourne, Australia. The 2007 World Championships is considered the top international swimming competition in the world outside of the Olympic Games, and this meet will be the best indicator of the stars to watch in 2008. The open water athletes will kick off the event, competing March 18-25 at St. Kilda’s beach just outside of Melbourne. The pool swimming events, which are March 25-April 1, will be contested in a temporary pool at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne Park.
