PSYCH SHEET



Between all three stops -- Monaco, Barcelona, and Canet-en-Roussillon -- the 2017 Mare Nostrum is rife with prize money for some of the world's best swimmers such as ​Katinka Hosszu, Chad le Clos, James Guy​​, ​and ​Yulia Efimova​ to pick up and put in their back pockets. While, yes, this is a great opportunity for top swimmers to prepare for the 2017 FINA World Championships -- it is also an opportunity to earn some cash.​
​
Though the total amount of money awarded when all is said and done is not clear due to prize money being awarded for various records -- world records, European records, Mare Nostrum Tour records, and individual meet records -- it is floating somewhere in the neighborhood of $200,000 USD after converted from euros.

Let's take a look at the prize money breakdown ahead of the first stop on the tour in Monaco (June 10-11):

​With that kind of cash on the line as motivation, will one of these swimmers be able to throw down a new world record? Doubtful. But, you never know...​
