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?

Some of these meets have all the events to allow people time to get qualifying times/current times for championships or to get best times while tapered in lieu of champs.
Deck seeding + positive checkin
Bullpen seeding for distance events (all entrants report to ready bench at heat 1, then seed fast to slow depending on who reported in)
Combine men + womens heats
