Full report, heats and final →Coverage and counting
Fifteen contests contain 57 starts across 44 event-entry groups. The plunge has three rounds of eight attempts; these 24 attempts are not 24 race starts. Six championships add six central events; heats and this summary add none.
- This is a user-approved historical reconstruction. Complete historical starter lists remain unavailable; Estimated event participation and heat draws are disclosed and are not verified historical appearances.
- All ability inputs are neutral estimates. Model times and plunge distances are experimental replay outputs, not calibrated historical predictions or all-time records.
- Replay outcomes determine heat qualification and winners. Historical placings and eliminations are source evidence, never forced replay outcomes.
- The plunge uses a separate estimated best-distance contest. Its attempt count and countback are ASN rules; the original local regulations are unavailable.
- Unresolved names and affiliations remain unresolved. All swimmer record groups are event-scoped; no namesake or Lyttelton career merge is asserted.
- The quarter-mile date is provisional from a later scholarly chronology. The January 12 half-mile and January 13 220-yard dates remain qualified working dates. Universal date: January 13, 1900.
