At our SCM meet this past weekend we had an out-of-state visitor swimming. She was a very serious swimmer, arrived a week early to acclimate, came with a bit of an entourage, and did some pretty amazing times (45-49). We also saw her taking frequent hits from a very large inhaler always just before her races as she was warming up and behind the blocks. Any thoughts?.

Maybe she had friends/relatives to visit in the area, thus the early arrival. Perhaps socializing with her local contacts continued at the meet, giving the appearance of an entourage.
