An addendum to the swimming coverage is that there will be extensive coverage across Radio 5 Sports Extra / online. The action begins on Sunday (TMS live on 5 Sports Extra then) but there is coverage on 5 Sports Extra of the evening sessions next Monday and Tuesday from 11:30 to 14:30 (action begins at midday).
Granted radio rights will be cheaper by can't understand from the perspective of either organisation how they can agree one deal but not the other for the exact same event. Both organisations are once again beyond my understanding.
