There are several events each day, so the action will be almost non-stop. Connecticut Swim (CTSwim) made an important stipulation regarding the events in a statement, which read:

"The 800m and 1500m freestyle events will be swum slowest to fastest, alternating women’s and men’s heats, with the fastest heat of each race swum during the evening session. All other heats will be swum so the second fastest heat of the Men’s event finishes approximately one hour prior to the start of the evening session."

Here's how the schedule lines up, according to CTSwim.
