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?
Unless a meet is specifically billed as a mini-meet, I figure I'll be there all day and plan accordingly. For the number of events offered, I don't think this meet seems overly long at all.
