Through the first four days of competition in the portable pool at La Defense Arena , no world records have been set.
The culprit for the slower-than-expected times appears to be a pool that is slightly shallower than the optimal depth.
Going forward, World Aquatics has mandated a minimum depth of 2.5 meters for swimming and water polo events.
Nine world records were set at London in 2012 , eight more fell at the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro .
The lack of fans hasn't been an issue in Paris , where the cacophony of a large arena filled to the rafters with passionate supporters has given everyone an extra push.
“It’s about getting your hand on the wall first and winning the race," says Chalmers .
