I just swam in a local masters meet that had 31 events.
Warmup at 7 am - the 500 at 8am & then the rest of the meet at 9 am till about 3 pm.
Is this typical for meets around the country?
All strokes had 50 - 100 - 200 distances including the 100 - 200 - 400 IM.
7 relays as well.
Many swimmers had left the meet by 1:30 or so.
Each event had a male & a female race in each event.
Any ideas as how to shorten the time line of this meet?

Our local meets don't offer relays. All events 200 & longer are mixed gender. Also if there are only a couple of entries in an event, they will swim men & women together. The total meet time for the one run at the end of Feb, including warm-up and 1000 free (at the end) was about 4 hours.
