I recently posted a question about racing and received a lot of great answers so here is another question. I am about to participate in my first race (in a pool) and I am worried about being disqualified now. What are some of the common mistakes I need to be aware of? Turns maybe?

I've been to a couple of meets where swimmers wearing watches were given a warning but no DQ. Technically timing devices could assist a swimmer with their pace.
But regarding jewelry I stand corrected as the rule is only for college and high school meets. The same refs who officiate our masters meets had DQ'd a few high school girls for having hoops in their ears. Studs in ears apparently are ok.
