    Not quite the same but along a similar vein - what do you guys think about swimmers using longer events for a split time? For example swimming a 50M max, then 150M or 350M recovery? I've done this a few times when I've wanted a couple of attempts at fast times. I guess it can be disconcerting for swimmers in adjacent lanes. I always tell the meet organisers, and officials if I'm going to do it, and swimmers nearby if they are willing to make eye contact.... There are instances where masters swimmers might enter times faster than world/national records - records have to be set at masters meets, but some masters swimmers may have swum quicker in non-masters meets?
